A December 23, 2023 shooting on Riley Street in Baton Rouge left 24-year-old Tamine Richardson dead and another person with non-life-threatening injuries. Richardson was taken to a local hospital where she later died of her gunshot wounds. At the time of the shooting, motive and suspect information were not known to investigators.

In April 2024, the Baton Rouge Police Department arrested 30-year-old Tremal Baker after a traffic stop for driving without headlights. Officers say Baker fled the vehicle carrying a firearm and was chased on foot before being taken into custody; police identified him as the suspect in the December shooting and booked him on a charge of first-degree murder in Richardson’s death.

If anyone on Riley Street that night or anyone with information about the shooting or the persons involved can help, please share what you know with the Baton Rouge Police Department.
