David Johnson, 22, was shot and killed in a Baton Rouge apartment parking lot on February 15, 2026. At about 4 p.m. he was walking to his vehicle in the Park East Apartments on Sharp Lane, just off Florida Boulevard, when gunfire erupted; he was struck multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency services responded. The Baton Rouge Police Department opened an investigation and said neither a motive nor any suspects had been identified.

No arrests have been announced and the case remained under active investigation. Few public details are available about the events leading up to the shooting or about possible witnesses.

Does anyone who was in the Park East Apartments area that afternoon have information that could help investigators?
