Kelvin Brown Jr., 32, was shot dead on the evening of June 7, 2018, in the 5000 block of Winbourne Avenue in Baton Rouge. Responding officers found him next to the roadway with fatal gunshot wounds after he had managed to get out of his vehicle and then collapsed.

Investigators say Brown had been sitting in his car when another vehicle arrived carrying 19-year-old Tykelian Lafleur. Surveillance footage showed Lafleur exit the passenger side of that second car and get into Brown’s vehicle. What began as a prearranged drug deal reportedly turned into an exchange of gunfire. Two firearms, cash, and suspected marijuana were recovered at the scene, and Lafleur went to a local hospital with a gunshot wound, telling authorities he was shot on Winbourne Avenue.

An arrest has been reported in connection with the shooting. If anyone saw activity on Winbourne Avenue that night or has information about the meeting between the men, please come forward.
