A dispute in the early morning hours of July 1, 2024, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, ended in fatal violence. Thirty-six-year-old Byron Irving was found with multiple gunshot wounds just before 3:00 AM on North Donmoor Avenue and did not survive.

Police say the altercation escalated when Joel Johnson allegedly shot Irving during a fight. A woman who was at the scene reportedly tried to call for help; investigators allege Johnson shot at her, took her phone to stop her from contacting police, and offered her $2,000 to buy her silence. Investigators later reconstructed events from the scene and other evidence.

Nearly two months after the killing, the Baton Rouge Police Department located and arrested Joel Johnson. He is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and armed robbery in connection with the shooting and the alleged actions afterward.

Did anyone in Baton Rouge see or hear anything that morning on North Donmoor Avenue?
