On the evening of March 8, 2017, Decoty Joseph, 28, was fatally shot during a home invasion at his Lorraine Street residence in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The intruder forced his way into the home Joseph shared with his fiancée and their three children around 6:30 p.m., demanding money and jewelry. The assailant opened fire; Joseph was struck multiple times, including in the chest, and died. His 26-year-old fiancée was also shot but survived with non-life-threatening injuries. The couple’s three young children were in the home during the attack.

Family described Joseph as kind-hearted and devoted to his children; he and his fiancée had recently become engaged and had lived in the house for about four years after moving from New Roads. Investigators identified a suspect whom the surviving victim recognized from prior visits to the home, including at least twice in the week before the shooting. A 28-year-old man, Christopher Earl Gremillion, was arrested and booked on charges including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and armed robbery.

Did anyone in the Baton Rouge area know the family or have information about visitors to their Lorraine Street home in the days before March 8, 2017?
