John Edward Offord Jr., 30, was shot in Baton Rouge in the late afternoon of Saturday, July 29, 2017, and died at a hospital on July 30, 2017. Officers found him in the driver’s seat of his gold Audi SUV in the 4000 block of Alliquippa Street around 5:49 p.m., suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators say he had been driving south on Alliquippa when an assailant fired two shots into the driver’s side of his vehicle, one striking him in the head.

The investigation quickly focused on 28-year-old Mingus Adams, described as the new boyfriend of the mother of Offord’s child. Witness tips placed a gold Infiniti SUV driving by and the driver firing into Offord’s vehicle; that model was registered to Adams and surveillance footage showed a matching vehicle at the scene. Adams was arrested and booked on a second-degree murder charge with bond set at $300,000. In April of the following year, Stephanie Davis, the child’s mother and Adams’ girlfriend at the time, was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, accessory after the fact to second-degree murder, and criminal conspiracy after allegedly attempting to supply Adams with a false alibi.

Does anyone have information about Offord, his movements that day, or the vehicles seen near Alliquippa Street around 5:45–6:00 p.m. on July 29, 2017?
