BATON ROUGE - On Wednesday, more than 100 people gathered to celebrate the life of Ja tyri (JT) Brown with a balloon release outside the apartment complex where she lost her life.
It was a family coming together again, praying but this time holding and releasing pink and white balloons for a life that was taken from them too soon. We will not let them forget Ja tyri Brown’s name. In other states there are other kids getting murdered just like my grandbaby,” said her grandmother Hope Provost.
Police said Tuesday a total of six people are now believed to be tied to the Memorial Day triple murder that happened poolside at a Baton Rouge apartment complex.
