Good morning, Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge police arrested Devante Adams, 26, on Friday for his alleged role in the New Year's Day shooting on Longfellow Drive — which left 35-year-old Terry Jones fatally wounded by multiple gunshots at the scene.

Police arrested 17-year-old Eddie Monroe for second-degree murder after a Tuesday shooting on Avenue J left a 22-year-old man dead in a parking lot near Woodpecker Street—records show Monroe was previously arrested for a shooting during a downtown Christmas parade and bonded out on June 14.

Police said further arrests are pending in connection with a deadly shootout near a Baton Rouge club—where a 25-year-old woman died and five others were injured nearly two weeks ago.

LSU AgCenter reported that the Asian Needle Ant was detected in two Louisiana parks in August 2024 and June 2025 + this termite-eating species swarms in spring and early summer.

To fish legally in Louisiana, residents 18 and older must get a basic freshwater fishing license for $17 with a valid state ID—separate licenses are required for saltwater fishing or fishing with a hook and line.

Urgent care physician Dr. Allan Capin warned Baton Rouge residents that fireworks can cause serious burns to hands—faces and ears, and he urged using safety glasses, choosing open flat areas, and letting misfired fireworks sit before disposal.
