An investigation is underway into the shooting deaths of two people that detectives say was the result of an apparent murder-suicide.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office said it happened at the Pecue Mobile Home Estates in Baton Rouge around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. The mobile home park is located on Old Pecue Lane, which is just off Airline Highway.
East Baton Rouge Parish Prison booking records show the suspected shooter in the murder-suicide was arrested on a domestic abuse battery charge in September. Deputies said they responded to what was described as a loud domestic dispute. Investigators added the deputies discovered two bodies inside a trailer when they arrived on the scene.
The woman has been identified by investigators as Brittany Rogers, 26. According to Clark, she died of a single gunshot wound to the chest. The man, who police believe was the shooter, is Sedric Richard, 39. Clark added Richard died from a gunshot to the head.
According to booking records, Richard was arrested on September 25 for domestic abuse battery and was released the next day. Neighbors claim he was a driver for the Capital Area Transit System, or CATS, and routinely left his shuttle outside the park when not working.
