On the morning of April 4, 2016, 28-year-old Dawn Scott was found shot to death in her Kenner, Louisiana, apartment on Idaho Street. She and her boyfriend, 31-year-old Raynell Kimbrough, were discovered in their bedroom, both having been shot multiple times. Scott’s infant daughter was in the bed with her during the shooting but was unharmed; two other children, ages 10 and 2, were also in the home and not physically injured.

Investigators say the assailant entered through a back door; witnesses reported seeing a gold-colored vehicle leaving the apartment complex shortly after the shooting. A person of interest, 28-year-old Shaun Barnett of Avondale, was detained on a parole violation and linked to the scene by cell phone data, license plate recognition checks, and DNA from blood on a jacket found at his home. Prosecutors say Barnett had been with Kimbrough the night before, that an argument with Scott preceded the killings, and that Barnett returned intent on killing them, shooting Scott as she slept beside her child and shooting Kimbrough when he awoke.

Anyone with information about Dawn Scott, the apartment on Idaho Street, or the gold-colored vehicle seen leaving that morning is asked to share what they know.
