A visiting truck driver was killed in Baton Rouge on the morning of August 8, 2017. Keith Odom, 49, of Jonesborough, Tennessee, was working on a tire of his 18-wheeler in the parking lot of a strip mall on the 12000 block of Florida Boulevard around 8:00 a.m. when an assailant confronted him. Investigators believe the encounter was a robbery; Odom reportedly surrendered possessions but was nevertheless shot and later died at a local hospital.

Within days the Baton Rouge Police Department arrested 18-year-old Landry Carter and linked him to a series of armed robberies at dollar stores across the city in June and July 2017. Carter was charged with murder and multiple counts of armed robbery, and a grand jury returned an indictment on one count of murder in December 2017; he was held without bond on the murder charge.

Did anyone in the area of Florida Boulevard that morning see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
