Annette January was 19 and from Gary, Indiana, when she was fatally shot in the early morning outside an apartment complex near the Louisiana State University campus during a party. The shooting was an exchange of gunfire that followed a dispute investigators say escalated from a previous altercation; Southern University student Lashuntae Benton, 19 and from Lake Charles, Louisiana, was also killed and a 24-year-old man was wounded but survived.

Police arrested 22-year-old Ernest Bernard Felton of Miami and charged him with attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon after a witness identified him as the person who started the shooting. Authorities were awaiting ballistic analysis to determine who fired the shots that killed the two women; a judge held Felton on $90,000 bond.

If anyone has information about the altercation that led to this shootout or saw events outside the apartment that night, please come forward.
