In the early morning hours of Tuesday, October 15, 2019, the sense of normalcy in a North Baton Rouge neighborhood was shattered by a grim discovery. On the pavement in the 600 block of North 38th Street, a man lay motionless, the victim of apparent gunfire. The man was identified as 41-year-old Armond Green, an African American male who lived just a block away from where his life was tragically cut short.
Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives were summoned to the scene around 7:25 a.m.
and immediately launched an investigation into the shooting death of Armond Alphonse Green. Authorities confirmed that Green had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The initial investigation left detectives with few leads; the motive behind the shooting and any potential suspects were unknown in the immediate aftermath.
In the days and weeks that followed, the Baton Rouge Police Department appealed to the public for any information that could shed light on the circumstances leading to Green's death. Despite their efforts and the pleas for community assistance, the case grew cold. For years, no significant developments were made public, and no arrests were announced in connection with the homicide. The investigation into who killed Armond Green remains open, leaving his family and community still searching for answers and the justice that has so far remained elusive.
