re: Shooting outside Doe's Eat Place

Your details are a lot better than mine. As BR changes, people that were not around then, get a bit off track.

I've not been to Does in its present incarnation but that area of Baton Rouge has been colorful since the 80's. It's close enough to historically high crime areas to attract bold miscreants to visit, impart mayhem in the pursuit of plunder then scurry north quickly to the welcoming cocoon of their safe space.

But as the Betty Smothers and other incidents show, trouble can find you anywhere in Baton Rouge though it's less likely the further you get away from North Baton Rouge.

At one time my office and business was on Government St and several thefts and armed robberies later, I'm happy not to be tied to Mid-City anymore.

I appreciate the buffer zone Mid-City provides.

Prayers to the family.
