On the night of November 21, 2014, 22-year-old Dwayne Batiste Jr. was fatally shot in Lafayette, Louisiana. Police responding to reports of gunfire found him deceased inside a truck in the 800 block of West Gilman. The case remained unsolved for more than a year.

In February 2016 a special task force re-examining unsolved homicides announced arrests tied to the shooting. Cody Ramon Brown, 33 and from Lafayette, was indicted on second-degree murder; at the time of that indictment he was already incarcerated at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola on unrelated charges. Dwayne Carmouche Jr., 26, of Breaux Bridge, was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to second-degree murder, and authorities issued a warrant for a second person on the same accessory charge.
