On the evening of May 1, 2013, 20-year-old Jermayne Dovonbantu Jackson was fatally shot while a passenger in a car driving through the 4200 block of Provost Street in Baton Rouge. The vehicle was struck by multiple bullets; Jackson and another passenger were hit. The driver rushed the wounded to a nearby hospital, but Jackson succumbed to his injuries. The other passenger survived after treatment for injuries described as not life-threatening.

Police identified and took 19-year-old Jeremiah Brooden into custody the next day and subsequently arrested him in connection with the shooting. Authorities did not immediately disclose a motive as they built their case. Jackson, a Baton Rouge resident originally from Hammond, is remembered by family and friends as a loving son, brother, and friend; his mother who raised him, his biological mother, and several siblings survived him.

Are there details about that night or about Jermayne’s life that anyone in the area can add to the record?
