Fifteen-year-old Kenneth Burrell Jr. died on the evening of Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at The Hub apartment complex on Highland Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Police were called to the scene at about 10:12 p.m. and found Kenneth fatally wounded after a handgun was discharged while several juveniles were together at the complex.

Authorities characterized the shooting as not motivated by malice but as a catastrophic consequence of juveniles handling a firearm. The complex has been noted as a frequent scene for police calls.
