Donvonte Mobley, 25, was killed on the evening of May 25, 2018, in Baton Rouge. He was driving a white Honda Accord and giving his 19-year-old nephew, Joseph Mobley, a ride home. They pulled up to a residence in the 3500 block of Victoria Drive at about 8:45 p.m., with a third person seated in the passenger seat.

A single gunshot rang out inside the car as Joseph, who had been sitting in the back seat, was handling a pistol. The bullet struck Donvonte in the head. A witness in the car told police there had been no argument or altercation beforehand. Joseph fled the scene briefly, discarding two firearms that were later recovered, then contacted police and surrendered. He told investigators the pistol had been pulled from his waistband and accidentally discharged. Donvonte was pronounced dead at the scene and Joseph was arrested and booked on one count of negligent homicide.

Are there details about the night or the recovered weapons that anyone in the area can add to help clarify what happened?
