Reedus McAllister, 39, was shot dead on the evening of July 26, 2014, in the 20000 block of Greenwell Springs Road in Baton Rouge. A lifelong resident and an arborist by trade, McAllister was known to some as Bo. Deputies from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about 5:55 p.m.; the caller, McAllister’s girlfriend, told them she had shot him and said she had acted in self-defense after he attacked her. Officers found McAllister deceased at the scene.

Investigators examined the domestic dispute and the girlfriend’s claim that she fired to protect herself. Authorities concluded the shooting was a justifiable homicide and did not arrest or charge her. The death was ruled an act of self-defense in the course of a domestic altercation.

If anyone knew Reedus or witnessed the events that evening, does anyone have information to add about what happened before deputies arrived?
