Sirena Franklin, 39, was shot and killed at her Tigerland Avenue apartment complex in Baton Rouge on March 11, 2024, after an altercation over a package. The confrontation reportedly began when another woman tried to steal a delivery; a physical and verbal dispute followed, and Franklin tried to walk away before a gun was produced and she was shot. She was taken to a nearby hospital and later died, leaving three children.

Police arrested 37-year-old Angelique Chatman in connection with the shooting and booked her into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. A grand jury later returned an indictment charging Chatman with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and the case is moving through the courts.
