BATON ROUGE — Baton Rouge Police officers are investigating a deadly shooting that happened in broad daylight in the city on Saturday, August 29 with multiple people shot.
It was around 4:45 p.m. when officers responded to an apartment complex at 650 N. Ardenwood Drive for a shooting involving multiple victims.
Upon arrival, officers found four people shot at the scene. All four were transported to a hospital, where 22-year-old Latrell Trumble died from his injuries. The others shot are expected to survive their injuries, BRPD said.
While investigating, officers say a 14-year-old was also shot at the scene, whose family took him to the hospital. He had non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation so far indicates the shooting likely resulted from an ongoing dispute, which involved
multiple verbal and physical confrontations between individuals connected to both parties. Officers added the dispute may have started the night before and continued throughout the following day.
