A Friday night shooting at Doyle High School’s baseball park in Livingston ended with the death of 23-year-old Evan Lynch. On May 9, 2025, dispatchers received a call around 9:15 p.m. from a vehicle on Texas Street reporting a man shot and having difficulty breathing. Officers found Lynch inside a vehicle off Red Oak Road with a single gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and later died.

The investigation produced three arrests tied to what authorities described as a planned attack. Nineteen-year-old Brandon Soileau, the driver of the vehicle where Lynch was found, was arrested first. Twenty-three-year-old Caleb Rowley of Denham Springs was later taken into custody; both Soileau and Rowley face first-degree murder, aggravated burglary, obstruction of justice, and tampering with surveillance. A third suspect, 24-year-old Lavorius Linson, was arrested on charges including first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, first-degree robbery, and illegally supplying a firearm to a felon. Officials said the shooting did not involve any students and the school was not in session.
