On a Tuesday just before noon, authorities in Baton Rouge were called to a grim scene on Scenic Highway, nestled between Airline Highway and Mengel Road. There, they discovered the body of Stafford Williams, a 48-year-old man from the local community. Williams had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene on June 30, 2020.
The area around the Triple B tire shop was quickly cordoned off as a crime scene, with Baton Rouge Police Department officers beginning their investigation into
the deadly shooting. At the time, law enforcement officials stated that they were actively investigating the circumstances surrounding Williams' death.
Despite the initial investigation, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the shooting death of Stafford Williams. His case is one of several unsolved homicides in the Baton Rouge area. An obituary was published for Williams, and a memorial page on the National Gun Violence Memorial website commemorates his life, noting he was lost to gun violence. Publicly available information regarding the ongoing investigation, if any, has not been released.
