Jonathan Jermone Triplett, 18, was found dead in his car at a traffic light in Baton Rouge on April 26. Officers located his vehicle at Choctaw Drive and North 38th Street late that Saturday night; the car was riddled with bullet holes and Triplett had died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Triplett’s aunt, who raised him and called him J Boy, said she had spoken with him shortly before his death and he told her he was on his way home. The Baton Rouge Police Department initially had no immediate suspects or motive; investigators later said they believed the shooting was not random or road rage but a targeted attack related to a prior dispute.

On August 14, 19-year-old Keithan Lee surrendered after his photo was released as a person of interest and was arrested on charges of second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. Police say the investigation remains active and they believe others may have been involved.

Did anyone in the area see Triplett’s car at that intersection or notice anything unusual that night?
