A spring party at the Baker Civic Club in Baker, Louisiana, in March 2014 ended in a shooting that killed three teenagers, including 15-year-old Marcell Franklin, a ninth-grade student at Zachary High School. Marcell, who was a twin, was among those fatally wounded; 18-year-old Diontrey Claiborne and 15-year-old Kendal Dorsey also died. Another teenager, believed to have been the intended target, was injured but survived.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of 16-year-old Nakeydran Williams. In February 2016 Williams pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter and one count of attempted second-degree murder and was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the deaths of Marcell, Diontrey Claiborne, and Kendal Dorsey.

If anyone attended that March 2014 gathering or has information about the events that night, please come forward and share what you know.
