On a December evening four days before Christmas 2015, 27-year-old George Hardin Kees Reusch Jr. was shot in the Esplanade Mall parking lot at Corporate Boulevard and College Drive in Baton Rouge. Reusch, described as a Prairieville electrician and bodybuilder, had arranged a meeting that police later characterized as a drug transaction. While waiting in his idling Jeep Grand Cherokee, a man entered the vehicle and, shortly after 7:30 p.m., a single gunshot rang out. Reusch’s vehicle then rolled into traffic, crashed through a chain-link fence and struck a pickup; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead soon after arrival. Reusch was the sole provider for his fiancée, Yasbeth Espinosa, and their seven-month-old son, Roman.

Investigators arrested D’Mon Spears and Gabrielle H. Rogers on December 24, 2015; Glenn L. Spears, identified by witnesses as the man who exited the Jeep, was later taken into custody. An April 2016 grand jury returned indictments against Glenn Spears, D’Mon Spears and Rogers on varying second-degree murder and related charges.

Does anyone have information about Reusch or that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
