On the evening of December 18, 2017, 45-year-old Thomas Snowden was found dead from a gunshot inside a residence in the 3000 block of Clayton Drive in Baton Rouge. Officers from the Baton Rouge Police Department responded at about 8:20 p.m. and opened a homicide investigation. Investigators said robbery appeared to be the primary motive for the killing.

Despite appeals for help, the immediate probe did not identify suspects. No arrests have been announced and authorities have not publicly released any persons of interest. The case remains open as investigators seek information that could clarify what happened that night.

If anyone knew Thomas Snowden, saw activity on Clayton Drive that evening, or has information that might help the Violent Crimes Unit, please come forward.
