On the evening of May 3, 2016, a confrontation over a party flyer in Baker, Louisiana, ended with 20-year-old Richard Devon Phillips shot twice in the chest near West Azalea Avenue and Baker Boulevard. Phillips had been walking with a friend, Walter Williams Jr., when a vehicle carrying 19-year-old MacArthur Johnson and 19-year-old Charmaine Wilson approached. Phillips moved toward the car and Johnson allegedly fired, striking Phillips; Phillips was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds.

Johnson and Wilson surrendered to Baker police after the shooting. Johnson said he acted in self-defense, but police noted that video from the scene did not match his account. Williams initially told investigators he was unarmed; an eyewitness said otherwise and Williams later led police to a hidden handgun. Johnson was charged with second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and obstruction of justice; Wilson was charged as an accessory after the fact to second-degree murder and with obstruction; Williams was charged with obstruction.

In 2017 a grand jury declined to indict Johnson, so no trial followed at that time. Does anyone have additional information about witnesses or the video that was referenced in the investigation?
