Roberto Ramos Jr., 21, of Walker, was found dead in his vehicle on February 10, 2023, on the side of Greenwell Springs Road near the intersection with Frenchtown Road. Deputies from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office responded to a call around 2 p.m. and located Ramos inside the car with fatal gunshot wounds. Dozens of shell casings were reportedly recovered at the scene, and investigators treated the incident as a possible drive-by shooting, cordoning off part of Greenwell Springs Road for several hours during the initial response.

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office later publicly identified Ramos as the victim but released no further details about events leading up to the shooting. No suspect information or motive had been provided in the initial reports and the investigation remained ongoing. If anyone saw activity on Greenwell Springs Road near Frenchtown Road around 2 p.m. on February 10, 2023, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
