In a tragic turn of events, a 36-year-old woman, Dolores Jackson, lost her life in a senseless act of violence in Baton Rouge. On a February afternoon, Jackson was simply sitting on her porch when she was caught in the crossfire of a nearby dispute. She was struck by two bullets and tragically died at the scene.
The incident stemmed from a conflict between juveniles that escalated into gunfire.
In the aftermath, a 15-year-old male, identified as Tyson Wright, was taken into custody by the Baton Rouge Police Department. He is facing charges of first-degree murder and illegal possession of a handgun in connection with the fatal shooting. Prosecutors are reportedly considering whether to charge the teenager as an adult.
