A Louisiana State University senior was found shot to death inside of her car in downtown Baton Rouge Friday morning.
The Baton Rouge Police Department identified Allison Rice, 21, as the victim in the shooting near a set of railroad tracks on Government Street.
According to police reports, it was determined that someone fired at least five or six shots into Rice’s car.
Prior to the shooting, investigators said Rice was out with her friends in the Mid City area of Baton Rouge.
She was stopped at a railroad crossing around 2:20 a.m. and tried to make a U-turn when the bullets started flying.
As of Saturday morning, police have yet to determine a suspect or motive behind the shooting.
“This senseless violence is completely unacceptable and Baton Rouge Police officers are thoroughly investigating to bring the perpetrator to justice,” Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said in a statement.
Rice was a marketing major at LSU. The university decided to release a statement on Friday: “The LSU community is saddened to hear of senior Allison Rice being killed overnight. Her family and friends are in our thoughts, and we encourage anyone who may have more information about this crime to contact Baton Rouge Police.
Rice had recently left a bartending job at The Shed BBQ in Baton Rouge, where her siblings also worked, to take on a new internship.
Chez Ciccone recalled telling the bubbly bartender that she was always welcome to come back and that “We are so proud of the direction you are taking. You’ve got your entire life ahead of you.”
Rice’s aunt and godmother, Susie Rice Granier, told The Advocate that her niece was a “free spirit” who loved to dance and sing.
“The loss of a child, you can never get over that,” she said. “The holidays are coming up. It’s going to be sad. It’s going to be really sad.”
no problem, when they catch them, out without bail in an hr.
I don’t go anywhere without carrying, including church.
Don’t help with an ambush! I carry & have tactical training but if someone shoots me without confrontation, I’m done for!
Same here, Paul.
Biden’s America
Made by Trumps bitches and moron republicans. All republicans should be purged. Douchebags.
YOUR A DA
Makes sense if you don’t think about it.
Remember who pushed for criminals to get out of prison. Remember who wanted to defund police. Remember who welcomed violence with paid bail and “criminal justice reform” which allows violent felons to get out of prison with no bail in a matter of hours. Brilliant, Mat. Brilliant.
Sorry Mat old buddy old pal. You are 100% wrong this most likely was a gang shooting thinking they shot someone else.
Louisiana is governed by a Demonrat you absolute waste of human flesh. It is Demonrats that opened the revolving door of crime with refusals to prosecute and cashless bail embolding criminals that no longer fear punishment.
Leave it to a male idiot to blamethe other side for his failures and stupidity. Moronic imbeciles like you should be hung from the nearest lightpost to keep you from dumbing down society.
Mat is your typical Democrat COWARD, who trolls for responses. He’s a failure in life and is mad at the world because it’s tough to be a loser, living a cowards existence.
I think you are being way to kind to Mat . But his posts as vile and hatful as they are , is also typical of the intolerant , woke .self-serving , virtue signaling Left that hate any one who’s opinion on anything and everything does not mirror their own . And who would love nothing more then silence any and all decent of any thought or opinion that does not conform to their ideology . Trolling , name calling and wishing you be purged is how they deal with their frustration that not every one is a useful tool like them . As they have stopped all rational thinking many years ago .
