Officials are identifying a would-be armed robber who was shot and killed on Tuesday evening.
Baton Rouge police responded around 6:30 p.m. to the reported shooting on Cathedral Drive near Wyandotte Street.
They found Melique Etienne dead at the scene with several gunshot wounds. Police say Etienne was wearing a ski mask and had a gun, so they believe he was shot while trying to commit an armed robbery.
Several people were questioned.
