Keondrae Ricks, 18, was shot and killed just after midnight on November 2, 2016, in the 2000 block of Nebraska Street in Baton Rouge. He was found lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest. A witness said two men, named in reports as Treshone Coates and Monte Carey, confronted Ricks; the witness alleged Coates produced a handgun and fired, while Carey reportedly searched Ricks’ pockets afterward. The same witness said the two men had planned the killing before the confrontation. Neighbors reported seeing a silver-colored Hyundai with three people inside circulating the area late that night and into the morning.

Both suspects were later arrested. Coates was taken into custody in March 2017 and charged with second-degree murder. In April 2017, 27-year-old Monte Carey was arrested on a second-degree murder charge after a witness positively identified him from a photo lineup; he was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison with bond set at $300,000.

If anyone knew Keondrae, or saw a silver Hyundai near Nebraska Street that night, please share information that might help the case.
