A wedding after-party in Baton Rouge turned deadly in the early hours of January 28, 2018. Byron Dewayne Jenkins Sr., 36, was shot in the parking lot of Sterling and Sterling Detail Shop on Scenic Highway, a business co-owned by the groom, Christopher Jerome Sterling. Jenkins, who had served as the groom’s best man, was found with gunshot wounds around 3:00 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 23-year-old woman was also wounded; her injuries were reported as not life-threatening.

Investigators initially had no known suspects or motive. In May 2019 police obtained photographs showing Jenkins inside the business with camera monitors active, and anonymous tips claimed the DVR had been removed before officers arrived. In February 2020 Sterling was arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to second-degree murder for allegedly tampering with the shop’s surveillance system. The shooter who killed Jenkins has not been publicly identified or arrested.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the person who fired the shots, please share what is known.
