On the evening of Sunday, February 15, 2026, a hit-and-run in Baton Rouge set off a pursuit that ended with the fatal shooting of 43-year-old Joshua Young. The chase stopped in the 13400 block of Goodwood Boulevard near South Flannery Road at about 7 p.m., where gunfire erupted. Officers found Young in the grass with fatal gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A woman who had been a passenger in Young’s vehicle was also shot and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and was expected to recover. Police are treating the case as a possible road-rage incident. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Authorities asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers and reminded the public to call 911 rather than intervene.
