On July 7, 2025, 18-year-old Terrence Freeman was shot and killed on Seville Avenue in Baker, Louisiana. He was pronounced dead at the scene just after 6 p.m. His younger brother, Terrell, was also shot and taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Family members described Terrence as kind-hearted and affectionate, a recent Baker High School graduate who had earned a scholarship to study accounting at Southern University and was remembered as a devoted grandson and big brother.

The Baker Police Department, assisted by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, identified a suspect quickly. On July 8, 2025, 17-year-old QuinDarius Washington was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with Terrence’s death and attempted second-degree murder for Terrell’s injuries, along with obstruction of justice, illegal use of weapons, resisting an officer, and possession of Schedule II drugs. Police said the shooting arose from an argument.

Was anyone in Baker that evening or who knew Terrence willing to share what led up to the argument or has information that could help clarify what happened?
