A late-evening drive through an upscale Baton Rouge neighborhood ended in deadly violence on May 18, 2016. Jesse Trejos, 20, was shot around 8:20 p.m. on the 9400 block of Kindletree Drive and later died at a hospital. The normally quiet Round Oak subdivision was left shaken by the attack.

Jesse was described as an active, fun-loving young man who played football and soccer, skateboarded, collected pins, and enjoyed music festivals and online gaming. Investigators say a dispute over a backpack—never recovered—occurred after Jesse got into a pickup truck. A witness who tried to help reported Jesse murmured his attacker’s name and said it was saved in his phone.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Taylor Besson of Thibodaux, who reportedly confessed to being with Jesse that night and implicated his cousin, Justin Braud, as the shooter. Cell phone records, a confidential informant and surveillance of the truck were cited as part of the investigation. Did anyone in Round Oak see a pickup truck in the neighborhood that evening or know where that backpack might be?
