A late-night shooting in Baton Rouge on October 10, 2024, left 32-year-old Daryl Hamilton dead. The shooting occurred around 12:52 a.m. in the 200 block of E. Buchanan Street; another man was wounded with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in critical condition, and Hamilton later died of his gunshot wounds.

Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives initially had no identified suspect or clear motive. Investigators later arrested 21-year-old Nolen Daniels in connection with the case; at the time of that arrest Daniels was already in custody on an unrelated charge. Authorities charged Daniels with first-degree murder for Hamilton’s death and attempted first-degree murder for the other victim’s injuries. Daniels’ prior allegations include aggravated escape, obstruction, and multiple counts involving illegal possession of stolen firearms and machine guns.

Does anyone have information about Hamilton, the shooting on E. Buchanan Street, or the people involved?
