Akiyah Dorsey, 20, was shot to death in Baton Rouge on June 16, 2023. Her 27-year-old boyfriend, Khalil Holmes, initially told police a handgun he had been handed accidentally discharged, and he was arrested on a negligent homicide charge. Detectives later found inconsistencies in his account and evidence suggesting the shooting was not accidental.

On July 3, 2023, Holmes was arrested again and charged with second-degree murder, obstruction of justice for his initial false report, and illegal use of a weapon. Authorities confirmed Dorsey and Holmes were in a relationship but have not released specific details about what led to the fatal shooting.

If anyone has information about Akiyah’s last hours or the circumstances of the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
