On the morning of Friday, May 3, 2013, a verbal dispute outside Performance Automotive at 2416 Connecticut Avenue in Kenner, Louisiana, escalated into a shooting that left 27-year-old Shane Michael Vicknair Graci dead. Responding Kenner Police officers found Vicknair’s body at the scene; the shooting occurred at approximately 9:55 a.m.

Detectives say Vicknair had argued with a man who was seen driving a blue Chevrolet pickup truck. Hours after the shooting, 75-year-old Roger Batiste of LaPlace surrendered to police with his attorney and turned over the gun allegedly used; he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Vicknair, a native of Metairie who lived in nearby River Ridge, was fiancé to Rebecca Wilson and father to a son, Jaxson Vicknair. Family members remembered him as most at home at the racetrack with his father.

Are there witnesses who recall the dispute outside Performance Automotive or who saw a blue Chevrolet pickup in the area that morning?
