On the evening of April 24, 2013, a trip to a Walmart in Port Allen, Louisiana, ended in the death of 36-year-old Leon Banks of Plaquemine. Banks had driven a white BMW to the store around 8:45 p.m., accompanied by two others for what was later described as a drug deal. A dark-colored Honda CR-V pulled up beside Banks’s vehicle; Banks got out of his car and entered the back seat of the CR-V. Moments later a gunshot sounded inside the Honda. As Banks tried to exit the vehicle he was struck by the bullet and collapsed in the parking lot.

The shooting prompted an investigation that led to the arrest of Roosevelt D. Jones, who was charged with second-degree murder in Banks’s death. If anyone witnessed the events in the Walmart parking lot that night or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
