Idrissa Ndongo, 18, was killed by gunfire in Baton Rouge on Friday, January 26, 2024. The shooting occurred at approximately 1:13 p.m. in front of an apartment complex at 11631 Sherwood Hollow Court; Ndongo sustained fatal gunshot injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Nineteen-year-old Trevor Courtney was also killed in the same incident, and a third person was wounded and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The double homicide followed a string of violent incidents at the same complex. In the two days before January 26 officers were called twice: early the previous Thursday morning two men with gunshot wounds to the head were found and hospitalized in critical condition, and hours before the double killing police had responded to a shots-fired call there with no injuries reported.

Baton Rouge Police Department Homicide Detectives are investigating. Authorities say the motive is unknown and no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information is asked to contact investigators.
