On the evening of July 7, 2023, thirty-year-old Jaylan Stanton was found dead in a grassy vacant lot in the 200 block of West Johnson Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Police were alerted to gunfire around 8:35 p.m. by the city’s Shot Spotter system; Stanton had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives initially had no identified suspect or known motive and asked the public for information to help piece together what happened. Nearly two months later, investigators arrested 42-year-old Keon Wilson and charged him with second-degree murder; reports at that time still described the motive as unknown.

If anyone has information about Stanton, his movements that evening, or the vacant lot on West Johnson Street, please share what is known with investigators.
