On June 23, 2015, the bodies of two Baton Rouge-area men were found in a rental car on City Limits Road in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Both victims had been shot in the back of the head; the Washington Parish Coroner’s Office reported that 31-year-old Shannen Hudson was shot multiple times and 28-year-old Jare Stevenson sustained a single gunshot wound. Hudson was an African American rapper from Gonzales known as Young Ready.

Police said neither man lived in Bogalusa and were unsure what had brought them to the city; later accounts indicate they had been visiting friends in a local housing project about fifteen minutes before the shooting. Investigators interviewed witnesses, reviewed surveillance footage, analyzed cell phone tower data, and followed a tip about a man fleeing the scene and entering a green sedan, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced.

Detectives expanded the probe to Baton Rouge, exploring possible ties to a loose organization there and whether drugs were involved. The families continue to seek answers. If anyone knew Hudson or Stevenson, or has information about their movements in Bogalusa or Baton Rouge on June 23, 2015, please share what is known.
