Travis D’André Mitchell was 25 when he was shot dead in Baton Rouge on the evening of April 2, 2014. The shooting occurred around 8:30 p.m. at a residence on America Street and was described in reports as a senseless act of violence that left his family and the local community searching for answers.

Investigators later identified Carlos Heard as a suspect and obtained a warrant charging him with first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. In December 2015 the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Heard; he was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

If anyone knew Travis, was at the America Street residence that night, or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
