Brad DeFranceschi, 48, was killed in a drive-by shooting on October 9, 2017, on his property at the back of the Avondale Scout Reservation in Clinton, Louisiana, where he worked as a camp ranger. A U.S. Navy veteran and two-decade employee of the Boy Scouts, he was shot while performing duties on the land he helped maintain. His death was the fourth in a string of shootings that had terrorized East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge parishes over several months.

Authorities identified Ryan Sharpe as the man responsible for this series of attacks. Sharpe told investigators he had been given government-issued hunting tags that required him to kill people, a statement that figured prominently in the legal proceedings. DeFranceschi’s killing was prosecuted as first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Brad, his work at the camp, or observed unusual activity around the Avondale Scout Reservation in October 2017, please come forward with information.
