Rynell Alexander was 16 when he was shot and killed in Baton Rouge on May 23, 2018. According to sheriff’s detectives, Rynell and another teenager met someone for a drug transaction and were parked in front of an abandoned house on Truman Street about 1:00 a.m. Shots were fired into their vehicle; both teens were struck. Rynell was driven to a nearby apartment complex but died inside the car, while his companion escaped to a gas station for help.

That same day authorities arrested a 16-year-old male and booked him into juvenile detention on first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, illegal carry and discharge of a weapon, and aggravated criminal damage to property. Because the suspect was a minor, his name was not released. Does anyone have information about Rynell, the meeting on Truman Street, or what led to the shooting?
