On October 5, 2016, a planned robbery at the Renaissance Center on Plank Road in Baton Rouge ended in a fatal shooting. Two employees were at the event hall when three armed people entered intending to rob the business and immediately opened fire. Employee Ricky McCants was shot multiple times but survived; Youlanda Hunter was shot multiple times, chased down a hallway by one of the assailants, and later died at a hospital from her wounds.

Investigators identified and arrested several suspects. McCants identified fellow employee 18-year-old Marquise Bailey and his friend Donnie Tyler; both were booked on first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder charges. A third accomplice, 19-year-old Alvin Donahue, was identified as the person who chased Hunter and fired the fatal shots and was booked on murder charges. A fourth person, Kwame Orlando Robinson, was arrested on counts including attempted first-degree murder and principal to first-degree murder for his role in planning the robbery.

Were there witnesses or security recordings from the Renaissance Center that could fill in the timeline of the robbery and shooting?
