Antoine Bowie, 22, was shot and killed just after midnight on August 17, 2024, while driving northbound on Interstate 110 near the Government Street exit in Baton Rouge. Court documents state another vehicle pulled alongside Bowie’s car and opened fire; Bowie was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in Bowie’s vehicle suffered a gunshot wound to the face and was taken to a hospital and expected to survive.

Surveillance footage described in court records reportedly shows the suspect’s vehicle alongside Bowie’s car before, during, and after the shooting, and investigators concluded Bowie was targeted. Baton Rouge police arrested 24-year-old Tyquincy James and charged him with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Police say a 16-year-old was with James in his red Kia at the time. A search of the residence where James was arrested reportedly turned up a Glock 17 with an extended magazine and a machine gun conversion kit; James also faces weapons-related charges and a count of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

If anyone saw the vehicles on I-110 that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
