On the evening of June 18, 2025, 53-year-old Huey Dewayne Sonnier Sr. was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Officers responding about 9:04 p.m. to the corner of Canocicus and Navajo streets found Sonnier with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died from his injuries. Investigators determined the shooting occurred a block away in the 2700 block of Calumet Street.

Detectives kept the case active for months. In October 2025, the Baton Rouge Police Department announced the arrest of 55-year-old Henry Ray Thomas; at the time of the announcement Thomas was already in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on an unrelated matter. He was booked on charges of second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon in connection with Sonnier’s death.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who were in the Calumet Street area that night and haven’t yet spoken to investigators?
