In the early morning hours of July 15, 2017, 41-year-old Monique Maxie was shot on Blount Road in Baton Rouge as she and another person were getting out of a vehicle. Several shots were fired; Maxie was the only person struck. She was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died of those wounds.

Investigators quickly focused on Maxie’s ex-boyfriend, Robert Antoine, and initially sought him on attempted murder charges. After Maxie’s death those charges were upgraded to murder. Antoine turned himself in and was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison; the booking included second-degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and illegal use of a weapon.

Her funeral services were held July 29, 2017. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Monique and can shed light on what happened?
