A custody dispute at a Baton Rouge apartment complex turned deadly on July 21, 2023, when an argument over a three-year-old boy escalated into gunfire at Fairway View Apartments on College Drive. Witnesses saw a fight at the community exercise facility earlier that evening before the confrontation that left two men dead.

According to police, 23-year-old Dantonior Stalling arrived to pick up his son and a heated argument ended with Stalling shooting 18-year-old Dyshon Williams. When Baton Rouge Police officers arrived, Stalling confronted them while still armed and reportedly pointed his handgun at officers, demanding they shoot him. Officers fired in response; both Williams and Stalling were taken to a local hospital and were pronounced dead that night.

The incident left a young child without a father or an uncle. The Baton Rouge Police Department later released video of the officer-involved shooting. Does anyone who was at Fairway View Apartments that night have information about what led up to the fight?
