On the morning of Friday, December 5, 2025, 21-year-old Kavin Simmons Jr was fatally shot during a verbal altercation at a residence in Leesville, Louisiana. First responders and Vernon Parish deputies attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Simmons, known as CrazyKav, was remembered by friends and family as a former Burkeville High School student with a kind spirit and a willingness to help others. Sheriff Sam Craft reported that a 13-year-old family member was detained at the scene, transported to a juvenile detention facility in Alexandria, and charged with second-degree murder. The matter was referred to District Attorney Terry Lambright for decisions about prosecution.

Are there readers who knew Kavin or who have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
