On the evening of December 19, 2017, 14-year-old Dylan DeShawn Plowden was shot near the intersection of Schlessinger Street and Vernon Street in Abbeville, Louisiana. Around 7:30 p.m., a responding Abbeville Police Department officer found Plowden lying in the road with multiple gunshot wounds; an autopsy later showed he had been shot three times. Before he died, Plowden identified his assailant to his grandfather and to police by the name Gutta.

Investigators focused on Jalen Levine, known by the nickname Gutta, and he was arrested and indicted on March 5, 2018, on first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder charges. Police said another juvenile had been with Plowden at the time of the shooting, and a hospital video recorded by a police lieutenant captured Plowden naming his attacker.

What details about Dylan’s last hours or the events at the scene might help readers who remember that night come forward with information?
