A deadly shooting outside a high school football game in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, ended the life of 21-year-old Tyree Parker on the evening of Friday, October 27, 2023. The gunfire erupted around 8:30 p.m. near the Donaldsonville High School stadium at Clay and Lee streets, forcing the game to be suspended and spectators to be cleared from the area.

Ascension Parish deputies who were nearby responded to the shots and found two men with multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies began lifesaving measures before emergency medical services arrived. Both victims were taken to a local hospital; Tyree Parker, a Donaldsonville resident, died from his injuries and the other man was left in critical condition.

Officers saw a man fleeing the scene and arrested him; investigators identified the suspect as 21-year-old Malik Fowler of Gonzales and said Fowler was an acquaintance of the victims. Reports state an argument between them escalated and Fowler fired multiple shots, killing Parker and critically injuring the other man. Fowler was booked on multiple charges related to the shooting.

Did anyone at the game or nearby see what started the argument or have additional information about the moments before the shooting?
