On the morning of December 11, 2016, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 37-year-old Juan Montgomery was shot multiple times during a forced entry into his home on Ritterman Avenue and died at the scene. Two men forced their way in and fled before police arrived; the motive was not known at the time.

Nearly two years later, on September 27, 2018, a breakthrough came when 36-year-old Richard James Johnson was arrested in Dallas after a tip to Greater Baton Rouge Crime Stoppers. Johnson was extradited to Louisiana and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with first-degree murder and home invasion in connection with Montgomery’s killing. Another person, Carlos Heard, was also charged with murder tied to the same case.

Does anyone have information about Montgomery, the residence on Ritterman Avenue, or the events of that morning that could help clarify what happened?
