Louis Spears, a 39-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot while standing on the front porch of a residence in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a Tuesday morning. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his legs and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died a short time later.

Baton Rouge police had no identified suspects or clear motive and publicly appealed for anyone with information to come forward. The investigation faced few leads and remained open as part of the city’s broader tally of unsolved homicides that continue to affect families and neighborhoods.

Did anyone see or hear anything on that Tuesday morning that could help investigators piece together what happened to Louis Spears?
