Lorenzo Dixon, 32, known locally as rapper Zoe Realla, was shot in a parking lot at 4149 Winbourne Avenue on April 22, 2017, at about 2:00 pm. Several masked people in a gray Chevy Impala opened fire; Dixon was hit multiple times, managed to exit his vehicle, and was shot again at close range. He was taken to a hospital and died six days later.

Investigators have described the killing as part of an alleged murder-for-hire plot tied to a larger drug trafficking operation. A witness named Martrell Harris as the person who paid Dexter Collins to carry out the killing. The shooters were identified as Dexter Collins and Patrick Carter, with Kelvin Phillips the getaway driver. Arrests followed: Phillips and Collins were arrested and charged with first-degree murder on February 6, 2020, but those charges were later dropped; Harris surrendered on March 17, 2021, on two counts of first-degree murder and was later released for lack of evidence. Phillips has also been linked to other violent incidents in the Baton Rouge area.

Are there witnesses or local residents who recall activity near Winbourne Avenue on April 22, 2017?
