On the evening of August 17, 2017, 20-year-old Jywuan Rakeem Butler was shot and killed during a home invasion at an apartment on Sherwood Hollow Court in Baton Rouge. Two masked men dressed in black forced entry through an unlocked window and opened fire, wounding Butler and his 17-year-old brother; the younger brother survived with injuries.

Investigators say Butler’s social media posts showing large amounts of cash motivated the robbers, who expected to find money in the apartment. Two 20-year-old suspects, Jamoriya Ben and Kenneth Smith, were later identified and arrested. Ben was found to have been shot by Smith at some point during or after the crime.

Court proceedings after the killing resulted in convictions and lengthy sentences for both defendants. Does anyone have memories of Butler, known as Wuan, or information about that night that could add context to the case?
