Who is the unknown masked man seen running with Letroyed Brown? In the afternoon hours of Wednesday, April 19, 2017, a chaotic scene unfolded behind a barber shop and several homes on Plank Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Two men, their faces obscured by ski masks, were seen running together. One of these men was 36-year-old Letroyed Brown, an African-American male. For reasons that remain unknown to law enforcement, the individual running alongside Brown suddenly turned on him, firing a gun multiple times.
Brown was struck by the gunfire and
collapsed to the ground. When authorities arrived at the 3200 block of Plank Road around 1:50 PM, they found Brown deceased at the scene. He was still wearing the ski mask and was found with a handgun in his possession. The second masked individual, now considered the prime suspect in Brown's murder, was seen fleeing the area in a dark-colored vehicle.
Investigators with the Baton Rouge Police Department have been working to identify a motive and bring the perpetrator to justice. However, the case has proven difficult to solve. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting death of Letroyed Brown. The identity of the masked suspect remains a mystery, and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact the Violent Crimes Unit.
