In the early evening hours of a September day in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the life of Kendrick Jermaine Ross Sr., a 37-year-old male, was tragically cut short. On Saturday, September 19, 2015, at approximately 5:45 p.m., Ross was discovered in his vehicle on Avis Avenue, suffering from a gunshot wound to his head. The father of seven was rushed to a nearby hospital, but his injuries proved to be too severe.
He succumbed to the fatal wound the following morning, on September 20, 2015.
At the time of the incident, details surrounding the shooting were scarce. The Baton Rouge Police Department immediately launched an investigation into the homicide, but a motive for the shooting was not readily apparent. In the initial days of the investigation, law enforcement officials did not release any information about a potential suspect or suspects, and the circumstances leading up to the shooting remained unclear. His wife expressed her profound grief and confusion, stating she had no idea why anyone would target her husband.
In the years that have followed the death of Kendrick Jermaine Ross Sr., there have been no publicly available updates regarding any arrests made in connection with his murder. The case, like many others from that year in Baton Rouge, has seemingly gone cold, with no suspects having been officially named or charged. The investigation into who is responsible for his death remains unresolved, leaving his family and community without answers or a sense of justice for their loss. Authorities had initially urged anyone with information to come forward, a plea that continues to echo in the absence of a resolution.
