A high school football game in Port Allen, Louisiana, on the evening of September 1, 2023, ended in tragedy when 15-year-old Ja’Kobe Queen of Brusly High was shot during halftime. The shooting happened near the concession stand during an incident that reportedly began as a planned fistfight between Queen and 18-year-old Jarrettin R. Jackson II. Witness accounts and subsequent reporting indicate the fight escalated when Jackson allegedly produced a firearm and fired multiple rounds.

Queen was struck in the head and neck and was airlifted to a hospital, where he died. A 28-year-old woman, Brasia Davis, was shot in the arm and survived. Authorities recovered a modified handgun at the scene; investigators say forensic testing and DNA evidence linked the weapon and shell casings to Jackson and to two other shootings in Baton Rouge. Jackson was taken into custody and originally charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder, and three other people, including 18-year-old Jaylen Smith and two juveniles, were also arrested on related charges.
