BATON ROUGE- Police are investigating a deadly shooting at the Sandpiper Apartments in Tigerland.
Officers say one person was killed Friday morning, making it the fourth homicide at the complex since 2019. According to officials, the apartments have been plagued with frequent crimes for years. What calls our attention to this location was the number of homicides and violent crimes, said District Attorney Hillar Moore. Calls that met the definition of a nuisance.
In 2020, Moore s office filed a petition for injunctive relief and order of abatement against the troubled apartment building.
