On the evening of December 27, 2015, 23-year-old Linton Batiste was shot and killed at an apartment in Lafayette, Louisiana. The shooting happened on Christmas Sunday and also claimed the life of 17-year-old Antonio Means in the same incident.

Police identified a suspect within days and took him into custody; the arrested man had a connection to an ex-girlfriend who lived at the apartment where the shooting occurred. A Lafayette grand jury later indicted him on two counts of second-degree murder, and a jury found him guilty. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms for the deaths of Batiste and Means.

If anyone knew Linton, Antonio, the apartment complex, or saw anything relevant that night, please come forward with information.
