Baton Rouge Police Violent Crimes Detectives are investigating a homicide that occurred Saturday August 6, 2011 around 7:00pm at a carwash located at 2389 North Sherwood Forest Blvd.
Preliminary investigation indicates the suspects as a white male and while female, who arrived at the carwash driving a brown or maroon colored four-door Pontiac and parked in a wash bay. At the same time, the victim, a white male, arrived in a white Chevy pickup-truck with distinct toolboxes and parked in the wash bay next to the suspect’s vehicle. Shortly thereafter, the white male suspect shot the victim. Police believe the suspect then loaded the victim’s body into the Pontiac and drove away. The female suspect left the area driving the victim’s white pickup.
At approximately 8:30pm the same night, Baton Rouge Police received information that the body of a white male had been located under a bridge on Black Mud Road in Livingston Parish between Satsuma and Walker. Upon further investigation into the body, detectives believe this body is the victim from the carwash shooting in Baton Rouge, however the victim has not identified at this time.
