Trenity Grimes, 29, was found with gunshot wounds in the 2600 block of Balis Drive in Baton Rouge at about 1:45 a.m. on New Year’s Day 2018 and died at the scene. The Baton Rouge Police Department treated the killing as the city’s first homicide of the year and described the shooting as arising from some sort of altercation.

Investigators initially had no known suspects and asked the public for help. Community tips led to a breakthrough: on January 23, 2018, 27-year-old Thornton Lovely was arrested at his home and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with Grimes’s death.

Are there details about the altercation or witnesses from that night that haven’t been made public yet?
