An 18-year-old named Tyre Everson was shot dead on a Baton Rouge porch on February 8, 2024. Police found him with multiple gunshot wounds in the 3700 block of Shelly Street just before noon; he died at the scene. The shooting was one of several violent incidents that day in the city.

The Baton Rouge Police Department’s Homicide Division opened an investigation to determine motive and identify suspects. Weeks later, police arrested 18-year-old Marvin Lean and charged him with second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon; authorities said other people might have been involved and that the inquiry remained active. A separate indictment named Brayshawn Brown for second-degree murder and armed robbery in a different fatal shooting on Shelly Street that same day, though links between that case and Everson’s death were not specified.

If anyone knew Tyre, saw activity on Shelly Street that morning, or has information about the shootings, please share what is known with investigators.
