Broderick Brooks was 34 and a member of the East Feliciana Parish School Board when he was found dead in Baton Rouge on May 23, 2016. His car had stopped after rolling into a fire hydrant on Wenonah Street before sunrise; an autopsy showed he died of multiple gunshot wounds. The neighborhood where his body was located had a high crime rate, and investigators noted his glove box was open with contents scattered. His wallet and phone were missing, though he still wore his wedding ring and other jewelry.

Detectives linked 19-year-old Jacquez Tremaine Griffin to the scene. DNA on Brooks’s body and a fingerprint on sunglasses near the car tied Griffin to the crime, and a damaged gun hidden in a suitcase at Griffin’s home matched the weapon used, according to investigators. A photo posted on Facebook two weeks earlier showed Brooks in front of Griffin’s home. Griffin later confessed and pleaded guilty in August 2017 to manslaughter and armed robbery for Brooks’s death.

Did anyone in the area see Brooks or his car on the morning of May 23, 2016, or remember anything unusual around Wenonah Street that night?
