Good morning, Baton Rouge.

Early Sunday morning on Plank Road, Baton Rouge, a hit-and-run crash killed one person and injured three others—investigators are still searching for the driver.

Firefighters responded to a vacant house fire on Plank Road at 6:45 a.m. Sunday—protecting nearby houses as investigators later determined that the blaze was set by arson and no injuries were reported.

Baton Rouge offers a busy week of local events starting today with an art reception at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum that honors artist Leslie Charleville for her marine life prints, and Tuesday brings LSU baseball at Alex Box Stadium.

Later in the week residents will enjoy a plant sale at Hilltop Arboretum on Wednesday, a crawfish bowl and pickleball event on Thursday, LSU softball on Friday, the Flower Fest at Point-Marie, dueling pianos at The 121 on Saturday and an ice hockey game on Sunday at Raising Cane’s River Center.

Gail’s Fine Ice Cream at 3025 Perkins Road offers a beachy, vacation feel with soft love songs and outdoor seating where guests can try 12 seasonal flavors—while a single scoop costs $4.50 and a double costs $7.50—providing college students and families a unique dessert experience.

LSU basketball forward Aneesah Morrow said her move from Chicago to DePaul meant finding a new family in Baton Rouge, where coach Kim Mulkey helped her push through challenges like a foot injury and previous knee surgeries.

She finished her LSU career with high rebound totals and 100 double-doubles, proving her strength on the court.

LSU softball lost both games of a doubleheader to South Carolina on Sunday and now has four losses this season.

The Tigers, who fell short in extra innings of the second game, are 31-4 overall and 6-3 in SEC play and will travel to Lake Charles on Tuesday to face McNeese.
