On the afternoon of May 14, 2026, a dispute in the parking lot of The Athlete’s Foot at 4373 Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge turned violent when 28-year-old Na’Quail Weaver was shot at about 3:07 p.m. Weaver was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died on May 20, 2026, the East Baton Rouge Coroner’s Office confirmed.

Authorities identified 26-year-old Deandre Selmon as the suspect and said the encounter grew out of a prior altercation between Selmon and Weaver rather than being random. Selmon turned himself in with an attorney the Saturday after the shooting and was first booked on attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and illegal use of a weapon; those charges were later upgraded to second-degree murder. Records note Selmon had a prior illegal handling of machine guns charge.

Friends and family remembered Weaver as warm and approachable. If anyone witnessed the May 14 incident in the Florida Boulevard parking lot or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
