OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputies arrived at an apartment building, knocking on doors, looking for someone wanted for kidnapping. A family was intimidated by the aggressive knocking and gathered in the back of the house, apparently unaware the knocking was police. A man in the household finally opened the door and was shot dead. Police said he had a gun. The occupants of the apartment did not seem to have been aware it was police at the door and police on BWC are confirmed to have made noise only but not identified themselves.
