In the early morning hours of July 3, 2017, on Spanish Town Road in Baton Rouge, a burst of gunfire left two men dead and a woman wounded. Timothy Maurice Armstrong, 39, was sitting on the steps of a home with his friend Tyrone Brumfield while Brumfield’s fiancée waited in her truck nearby when an unknown assailant or assailants opened fire. All three were struck; Brumfield was pronounced dead at the scene, the fiancée survived, and Armstrong was taken to hospital but later died of his injuries.

Investigators launched an intensive inquiry but in the initial stages had no identified suspects or clear motive. No arrests have been announced and the case remains an open, active investigation.

If anyone was in the Spanish Town Road area the night of July 3, 2017, or has information about this shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
