I searched the name of the man killed on Google and found he was arrested by US Marshals in Lake Charles last year for killing a man on North Ardenwood.

This may not be related to that shooting, but I doubt this was random violence.

I’m just curious to know if this guy was raised in a stable household where getting an education was a focus
I hate this woman lost her son but maybe, just maybe she could have done some things differently
I love that she called out Broome, but her son being arrested for murdering someone last year doesn't really support her blaming Broome for this.

I’m surprised somebody survived the barrage of bullets on that targeted hit.

That many shots fired means you either pissed someone off or the hit was done by the gang who couldn’t shoot straight.
One of the stories I read referenced his fiancée
It also said the other person shot was a female
So drugs or messing with someone else’s woman

That's either multiple shooters, somebody that reloaded multiple times or an AR. That's a busy area too at that time of the day.

Or possibly both.
A dealer who got pissed at his squeeze fricking someone while smoking their stash?

Guessing he was out on bail
Maybe Momma needs to blame the judge that released him
If he was in jail where he would have been he would still be alive

Demoulin, 22, was arrested by the U.S. Marshal's Task Force last week in the Lake Charles area. He was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on second-degree murder.

Demoulin, the latest victim, had been arrested late last year in a deadly shooting from October 2020 — almost exactly a year before Demoulin himself was killed. Several months after his arrest, a grand jury considered the evidence and found it insufficient to press charges against him, so Demoulin had been released from his bond obligation in August, court records show.
Byrd believes her son was wrongly accused, but her family was targeted with violence after his arrest, she said.
"I tried to protect him, tried to keep him inside," she said, her face distorted with grief.
She said her son was studying business at Delgado Community College and getting ready to start a new job. He was devoted to his baby daughter, who turned 1 in February.
Byrd said he left her house around midnight, saying he was going to meet someone. Like any mother would be, she said, she was worried about his safety.
The last anyone heard from Demoulin was when he called his cousin Monday morning and said somebody was shooting, his mom said. He likely died moments later.

It looks like BRPD put together a weak case, which isn't shocking considering they do not have the time or personnel to put any effort into making these cases impenetrable.
Either way, you're not accused of murder unless you're hanging out in some sketchy crowds.

Not shocking! This place is becoming New Orleans.

Blame Katrina.
Lots of these frickers came here after the storm and never left.

There’s multiple escape routes as well, plus easy access to the interstate to get out of Dodge. Drusilla can be easily accessed.

It's a fact that you hardly ever heard hit and run incidents during AM/PM traffic reports in this town- until Katrina. IF you heard one, it was rare.
That's one thing that stuck in my mind. I've personally witnessed several take place, since then. You never saw crap like that happening on such a regular basis.

What’s the DA’s role in all thus besides his TV comments after the fact?

I don’t disagree with this assessment. False narratives built on identity politics by weak leaders taking advantage of the justified death of an armed offender to gain power.
Ferguson Effect
quote:
ORIGINAL: The Baton Rouge Police Department is down an astonishing 100 officers from its capacity, and morale within the department is at an all-time low.
That’s a circumstance which exists independently – to an extent – from the city’s out-of-control murder rate, which is now higher than ever before. Last year there were 136 murders in Baton Rouge, which was a record. This year, which still has 65 days left in it, there are now possibly 138 after two people were shot overnight in an apartment building on Longridge Avenue (which used to be a halfway decent place to live not all that long ago). Two people were shot and killed at an apartment complex on Longridge Avenue around 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Sources said one of the deaths was possibly a suicide. No more details about the case were immediately available.
While authorities have not ruled this investigation as a homicide, East Baton Rouge Parish tied the record for homicides in 2020. There have been 136 homicides in 2021 so far. Baton Rouge mayor-president Sharon Weston Broome and the BRPD’s chief Murphy Paul have been talking around this problem for more than a year, telling the people of the city that “we can do better.” But the fact is that the cops have lost control of the streets and the street violence happening in this city is worse now than it’s ever been.
There are three things going on right now which have combined to produce the horror taking place in Baton Rouge.
First is the aftereffect of the Alton Sterling case. The position of the Baton Rouge city-parish government, as expressed in its having agreed to a multimillion-dollar settlement to Sterling’s family for his having been shot by a policeman with whom he was fighting for possession of that policeman’s service weapon, is that it stands with the criminal class over the law-abiding. A revolving-door legal system and a grossly-neglected police force which has been badly treated and given zero support has led to Baton Rouge having one of the nation’s most severe cases of the Ferguson effect. The year Sterling was shot there were 83 murders in Baton Rouge. When the effects of that shooting began to manifest themselves that number jumped to 124 in 2017, then declined to 105 in 2018 and 97 in 2019 before sparking back up to 136 last year. The elevation in the city’s murder rate can be directly traced to the Sterling incident. The only year in which the murder rate in Baton Rouge rivaled that of the past four years was post-Katrina 2007, when there were 107 murders.
The second problem is leadership. Baton Rouge is a city in the throes of decline, and the poorer parts of town are declining at a rapid pace. With decline comes hopelessness and behavioral pathology. It takes leadership – in the police department and among the political class – in order to reverse decline and get people thinking about doing positive things in their lives. And Broome is anything but a leader. She specializes in useless gestures and spewing gobbledygook rather than solving problems. She’s allowing homelessness and aggressive panhandling to take over the city, there is no economic development of any note happening within Baton Rouge, she’s ignored public safety and the obvious need to focus on it. She’s the classic urban Democrat who ignores basic issues of governance to pander to various faddish interest groups. Go have a look at the city of Baton Rouge’s website and you’ll see just how engaged Broome is. Here’s a screenshot of the latest press releases… Sure, the city ought to be working on Hurricane Ida recovery. Or actually, it ought to be more or less done with that. Ida was a good while ago, after all. Two months to pick up tree trash is really more than enough time to have that job completed. And nothing on the spiraling murder rate, the most basic issue of governance in Baton Rouge. You will search high and low without success to find press releases on that issue.
The final reason the murder rate is out of control in this city is the governmental overreaction to COVID-19. The social isolation the state and city demanded of people last year had the same effect here that it did everywhere else governments intervened to separate people from their friends, and while the only real remnant of that in Baton Rouge is a mask mandate relatively few people observe anymore, the effects of the lockdowns have lingered. Throw people off a positive track in their lives and you will find them struggling, and often they will descend into a negative spiral. The COVID lockdowns only exacerbated major problems Baton Rouge already had plenty of. Now it’s a whole city in a tailspin. And the current leadership which has locked Baton Rouge into that situation has three years before the next election (and there is no particular reason to hope any real change in direction would come even if the Broomes, Chauna Bankses and Lamont Coles were to be changed out for somebody else capable of winning local elections here) has no interest in fixing anything. Nor are they interested in allowing parts of the parish to incorporate and try different approaches. By now the lawsuits against the aspirational city of St. George should have been settled, but they won’t be, and it’s going to take the Louisiana Supreme Court to decide them (something which shouldn’t be necessary; people have a constitutional right to incorporate cities in unincorporated areas, and there is no legal reason St. Georgians shouldn’t enjoy that right).
The murder rate will eventually come down in Baton Rouge. When it does, it’ll probably come down as a result of a significant decrease in population as people throw up their hands and move away. You’d expect the city’s political class to be horrified at that prospect. They aren’t. They’re fine with it, because they know most of the people who’ll be leaving aren’t their voters. It isn’t just the citizens being murdered in Baton Rouge. It’s the city itself. And while the cops usually don’t solve the individual murders the murderers of the city are easy to identify.

I don’t think we’ll get close to 200. I would put the over/under at 160.
Per the coroner's office we already at 140. we got 67 days left in this year that's .89 murders a day. I think they can do it.
ETA: I want to set the over/under at 170.5. I think they will finish around 171, I change my mind based on 140 murders /298 day of the year = .47 murders per day x 67 days = 31 murders remaining

There were at least a dozen of so shootings in the last week, only a few resulting in a death. All it takes is a few shooters getting lucky while blindly spraying rounds and you could fly past 171.

It's anybody's guess. Occasionally we'll have one of those 7 murder Saturday nights out of the blue.
