Brian Banks, 15, died in the early morning hours inside an apartment on Hooper Road in Baton Rouge when a handgun discharged and a single bullet struck him in the face. He had been inside the apartment with a 17-year-old acquaintance when the shooting occurred at about 3:30 a.m.

Detectives determined the firearm discharged accidentally while the two were handling it. The 17-year-old, identified as Kevin Aguillard, was taken into custody and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish prison on charges of negligent homicide and illegal use of a weapon. The shooting left Brian’s family grieving and prompted a vigil at the apartment complex.

Does anyone have information about the apartment on Hooper Road or about Brian’s last known movements that could help clarify what happened that night?
