A verbal altercation on the evening of June 28, 2026, in Baton Rouge turned deadly when 19-year-old Kaleb Stampley was shot and killed. The confrontation occurred around 7 p.m. on Blue Grass Drive, near BREC’s Fortune Addition Park; gunfire left Stampley with multiple gunshot wounds and another young man was wounded and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Baton Rouge Police responded after the shooting but the person or persons responsible had already fled. Investigators say the shooting grew out of a heated argument and involved an individual known to the victim, but officials have not released a suspect name or a motive beyond the verbal dispute. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.

Does anyone who was in the Blue Grass Drive area that evening or who knew Kaleb have information that could help investigators?
