Braelyn Anderson was a 16-year-old boy from Baton Rouge who died on July 24, 2026, after being shot in a violent incident that also wounded another person. Police were called about 8:00 p.m. to the 3800 block of Oswego Street, where officers found Anderson with gunshot wounds lying near a vehicle. A second shooting victim was located nearby in the 3800 block of Wyandotte Street and was taken to a hospital; authorities said that person was expected to survive.

Investigators are treating Anderson’s death as a homicide but initially released few details about the sequence of events. Police did not identify a motive, say whether the two victims were together when the shooting began, or explain how the two scene locations were connected. In the days after the shooting no suspect description, weapon recovery, or arrest was announced; authorities asked the public to contact Crime Stoppers with information.

Funeral services for Anderson were planned for August 8, 2026, at Hall’s Celebration Center, with interment at Hillcrest Cemetery in Baker. Does anyone have information about what happened on Oswego or Wyandotte streets that night?
