Troy Jerome Williams was 23 when he was found fatally shot in Geronimo Street Park in Baton Rouge on the morning of March 28, 2023. Authorities report he sustained multiple gunshot wounds and treatment of the scene and follow-up investigation initially produced few leads.

Months of investigation followed. Detectives later identified a 16-year-old male as the suspected shooter; the teenager was already in custody at the Ryan Detention Center on unrelated charges when identified. The suspect was charged with second-degree murder. No motive has been disclosed publicly.

If anyone was in or around Geronimo Street Park that morning or has information about Troy’s movements or contacts in the days before March 28, investigators would welcome that information.
