On February 14, 2017, Roosevelt Florida, 53, was shot to death inside an apartment on 70th Avenue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He had been visiting his friend Lonnie Henderson, 42, who was also found fatally shot in the same apartment. Henderson’s girlfriend discovered the scene after she could not reach him and found the apartment door slightly ajar.

Investigators described the case as a robbery gone wrong and identified three brothers — Brandon, Brian, and Darian Middleton — as suspects. Authorities say evidence indicated the brothers planned to rob Henderson; prosecutors later indicted all three on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of armed robbery. A girlfriend of one of the brothers testified that she overheard plans for the robbery and that she had dropped the brothers off near the scene on the night of the killings.

The indictments and arrests moved the matter into the courts, a process that proved prolonged for the victims’ families. Does anyone have information about Roosevelt Florida, his activities that night, or either victim’s whereabouts in the hours before the murders?
