In the spring of 2018, the voice of a rising Baton Rouge rapper was silenced. Louis Robinson Jr., a 29-year-old male known locally by his stage name 'Louis BadAzz,' was fatally shot in the middle of the day on May 2, 2018. A military veteran who had served his country for six years after high school, Robinson had returned to his hometown and was making a name for himself in the local music scene with a popular radio hit.
The father of four children, a son and three daughters, was gunned
down on Cadillac Street at approximately 3:45 PM. Robinson was transported to a hospital, but ultimately succumbed to his injuries. His death left his family, including his devoted parents and numerous siblings, devastated and searching for answers that have yet to come. In the years that have passed since the shooting, his case has grown cold.
Despite the initial investigation by the Baton Rouge Police, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Louis Robinson Jr. The streets have remained silent, leaving a void in the lives of his loved ones and a community still waiting for justice. His mother, in the face of her profound loss, has channeled her grief into supporting other mothers who have lost children to gun violence. The case officially remains unsolved, a lingering question in the city's history of violent crime.
