On the night of August 9, 2016, 34-year-old Rodney Joseph Savoy Jr. was fatally shot during a violent intrusion into his Lafayette, Louisiana, home. According to court accounts, an assailant fired 28 rounds into the residence; Savoy’s pregnant girlfriend was hiding in a closet when the shooter found Savoy in his bedroom and killed him.

An investigation led to charges against two men in connection with the killing. One defendant, Tevin Jenkins, was tried for second-degree murder; after a retrial a unanimous jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. Another man, Carlos Heard, was also charged in the case.

Savoy is survived by his parents, two sisters, a fianc e, and his children. Does anyone have information about the case or knew Rodney and can help fill in missing details?
