On the evening of October 19, 2024, 28-year-old Ron Clark Jr., a Black man, was shot on the 1500 block of Snipe Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Officers from the Baton Rouge Police Department found Clark with a gunshot wound just before 9 p.m.; he died at the scene. Homicide detectives described the case as separate from an earlier shooting that day in a nearby area and asked the community for information about what happened.

On November 7, 2024, police announced an arrest in the case. Nineteen-year-old Deziron King, who lived on the same block where Clark was shot, was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. Reports note prior arrests for battery, resisting arrest, and home invasion, and the District Attorney’s office sought to have King’s bond revoked in multiple pending cases.
