Two people walked into the swimming pool area of a Louisiana apartment complex on Memorial Day and opened fire on two young men, also killing a 1-year-old girl who was playing by the pool, police said.
The shootings happened after the two entered the gated area and confronted the victims, Baton Rouge police Sgt. Don Coppola Jr. said.
After an argument, the suspects shot both of them, 20-year-old Reginald Thomas and 17-year-old Dewayne Dunn; and also struck the child, 1-year-old Ja’tyri Brown.
