In the early morning hours of February 28, 2024, a burst of gunfire at a residence on Underwood Drive in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killed 29-year-old Destiny Shana Buckley. Two other women were struck and taken to a nearby hospital with injuries described as ranging from non-life-threatening to life-threatening. Authorities characterized the incident as domestic in nature and said an argument is believed to have preceded the shooting.

Investigators focused on identifying a suspect from among those present at the scene. On March 6, 2024, a U.S. Marshals task force located and arrested 23-year-old Darrius Howard in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was returned to Baton Rouge and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges including first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, and illegal use of a weapon.

What details about the timeline or the people involved might help explain how the shooting unfolded, and can anyone with information about the incident or the victims contact the Baton Rouge Police Homicide Division?
