Jayrick Ja’Voy Washington was 18 when he was killed on March 23, 2024, while driving to his job at a Walmart in Baker, Louisiana. A recent Jennings High School graduate and a student at Southern University studying business, he was described by his family as independent and outgoing and was five days shy of his 19th birthday.

At about 12:48 pm on Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge near the Fuqua Street exit ramp and Memorial Stadium, another vehicle pulled alongside Washington’s car and multiple shots were fired into his vehicle. He lost control, crashed into a tree, and was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds and blunt force trauma. Police initially treated the incident as road rage but later said it appeared to be a random act and that Washington was not the intended target.

Do readers have any information about Jayrick’s route that afternoon or about the area around the Fuqua Street exit ramp?
