On the early morning of Sunday, December 21, 2025, 22-year-old Tyree Lionel Worthy of Baton Rouge was found in the middle of Longwood Drive in Denham Springs with critical gunshot wounds. Deputies from the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office transported Worthy to a local hospital, where he later died. Investigators say Worthy had been at a nearby party and that an interaction with 26-year-old Kylin Jamar Sexton of Hammond escalated into an argument outside the home.

Detectives allege Sexton produced a weapon and shot Worthy, then fled in a 2019 Chevrolet Impala he had driven to the gathering, taking the vehicle without the owner’s permission. Sexton, who was on state and federal probation for prior weapons and drug charges, was located and taken into custody after a multi-agency search; the Impala was recovered in Tangipahoa Parish. Worthy is survived by two young daughters; his mother, Kawannia Flood, had lost another son to a heart attack earlier in the year.

If anyone attending that gathering or who saw activity on Longwood Drive that morning has information, please share it with the authorities handling the case.
