A game of dominoes in the early evening on North 47th Street in Baton Rouge ended in gunfire that killed 56-year-old James Young and left another man critically injured. Both victims were outside a residence in the 1700 block of North 47th Street when an individual approached and opened fire, turning a routine neighborhood gathering into a deadly scene.

The Baton Rouge Police Department investigated and identified a suspect. Authorities arrested 40-year-old Willie Mitchell and brought him back to East Baton Rouge Parish. Mitchell was charged with first-degree murder for Young’s death and attempted first-degree murder for the other victim’s shooting. The motive has not been released as the investigation continues.

If anyone was in that area that evening or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
