Irving Lumpkin III, 22, was found fatally shot in the parking lot of Elora Place Apartments (formerly Grand Pointe Apartments) on Kaliste Saloom Road in Lafayette in the early morning of March 25, 2026. Lafayette Police officers located him at about 6:30 a.m.; the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and the death has been classified as a homicide.

Police say Lumpkin was visiting a friend at the complex, and investigators do not consider that friend a suspect. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case remains under active investigation. Family members held a balloon release in Franklin to remember Lumpkin, known to them as Trey, and his obituary notes he is survived by his son, Irving Lumpkin IV, and a large extended family.
