Two people were found shot dead inside a car parked on the side of Boone Avenue Friday night.

According to Baton Rouge police, Brandi Gilbert, 23, of 6912 Hickory Creek, Plano, Texas and Corrin Rayford, 23, of 2805 Mustang Drive, Grapevine, Texas were shot around 11:00 p.m. on the 8100 block of Boone Avenue.


What the hell? That's a long way from Texas

There are no known suspects at this time, police said.

That's close to staring lane. Not the most desirable area of town these days.

Actually Boone and Staring is pretty nice. Nothing on Boone is bad besides the construction right now

That is dead in the center of Magnolia Woods which is a great neighborhood right next to Kenilworth. 6-7 blocks from Staring

I doubt that is their current residence, probably just their parents' mailing addresses.

I agree. Violent crime like this rarely happens in this neighborhood.

To say it is in a bad area is ridiculous. 2 blocks away from 3 $1,000,000+ Listings.

Define bad? I am simply saying it's less than desirable of an area. That is all.

This isn't Staring and Burbank or Gardere.

Magnolia Wood is a very desirable area. Great home values. Good schools. Safe neighborhood.

It's not Bocage or UC or CCLA but it's definitely desirable.

Typical TD poster speak saying that Magnolia Woods is a bad area.

And no I don't live in Magnolia Woods or have ever lived there but I would

It's a nice area in general with maybe a few bad homes here and there. I grew up in this area and never remember anything like this happening. Definitely an outlier incident.

Good schools?

There was a home invasion back in 2010 in Magnolia Hood.

If I had to guess, something drug related where this car pulled into the area from staring. No relation to anyone who lives in this neighborhood. Who knows.

There is a Facebook page for Corrin and it is safe to say she didnt live in Magnolia Woods.

There is also a RIP page for her that was started today.

Looks like the same person and the age matches up. Maybe she was coming from Staring Motel?

I know people that live in that area. It's a really good neighborhood but it's unfortunately located near a not so good neighborhoood which from time to time spills over into the good area. Probably what happened in this case.

Friend that lived in that neighborhood said the 2010 home invasion you are referring to was supposedly drug related. At least that's what the word was around Magnolia Woods.
