A late-summer family dispute in Baton Rouge turned deadly when 33-year-old Walter Houston was shot during a gathering on Iroquois Street. On the evening of September 15, 2015, a heated altercation between two groups escalated into gunfire; Houston was struck in the chest and later died despite emergency response.

Police described the shooting as stemming from an ongoing feud and said multiple people were involved in the preceding fight. Officers detained a 36-year-old man, Walter Williams, who was on parole. Ballistics later showed the bullets that killed Houston did not come from Williams’s weapon, and authorities have said an unidentified person fired the fatal shots. Williams was charged with ten counts of attempted first-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The person who pulled the trigger has not been publicly identified or apprehended and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone who was in that neighborhood or at the gathering in September 2015 have information that could help move this case forward?
