The juvenile suspect, who has not yet been identified by police, was also shot. Police say he was treated at a local hospital and later booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

He has been charged with first degree murder, four counts of attempted first degree murder, false imprisonment with a dangerous weapon and illegal discharge of a firearm.

Doesn't sound like an accident. Maybe the kid was hit by accident and he was just a passenger?

There are black men that would tell you the same.

Black mothers act out and their kids see that. The problem is then you get a 250lb black kid robbing people and fighting the police then gets killed.

There will be retaliatory shootings and potential killings over this. Look at how many people that 17 year-old tried to kill, including the homicide.

According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, 11-year-old Matthew Fortenberry was shot multiple times on Crestway Avenue shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday. Fortenberry was reportedly sitting inside of a vehicle with several other people when the shooting happened. Fontenberry was taken to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Officers located a 17-year-old who was allegedly involved in the shooting. He was also suffering from gunshot injuries and was taken to a hospital, where he was later arrested for first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder, false imprisonment, and illegal discharge of a firearm.

A BRPD spokesperson released additional details Friday, saying that the teenage suspect had apparently been feuding with the victim's family member and that he was holding a car full of people captive with the intent of drawing that person out. At some point, someone shot the 17-year-old, and the teen started shooting while running away from the car.

District Attorney Hillar Moore told WBRZ on Friday that he hopes to prosecute the teenage suspect as an adult. The teen is due in juvenile court on Monday.

If he killed shot and killed the one boy and shot st four others wouldn’t this qualify as a mass shooting?

Correct, it was a mass shooting but not reported as such with the media.

Exactly

It’s as if it’s just another day in the neighborhood. Little coverage, no outrage, and certainly nothing to make you think things will get better.
