A Baton Rouge Police identified the two people shot and killed on South Sherwood Forest Boulevard Friday afternoon — one a robber and the other a retail employee.
The shooting was reported around noon Friday at the address of a business in the 2600 block of South Sherwood Forest Boulevard near where it crosses Interstate 12.
Police said that Timothy McCoy, 28, robbed and shot Wise Communications employee, Mahmod Khalaf, 48, according to spokesperson Sgt. L'Jean McKneely Jr.
McKneely said detectives believe a third person witnessed the incident and shot McCoy as he left the business. That person then ran away before police arrived, he added.

The armed citizen bystander who shot the murdering criminal ran away.
In today’s upside down justice I don’t blame him for running away.

If it was a legitimate concealed carry holder I would have expected him or her to hang around to verify the perp was not a threat and to try to render aid to the victim.
Shooting a murderer and then disappearing is odd.
Shooter knew that in the US today, even if he was completely justified, an overzealous DA would charge him with murder if the shootee was the wrong color.
Don’t blame him a bit for de-upping out of there.
“Shooting a murderer and then disappearing is odd.”
Back during the Mariel boat lift the Tampa police began arresting robbers who had been based in Miami. When they were asked why they were so far north they replied that if the Mariel boat people spotted them robbing in Miami, which they had claimed as their territory, the Mariel people would shoot them.
One possibility is the robber was from a gang associated with a different turf.
The citizen may have been ineligible to have a firearm.
In days gone by that was the correct response. Now days, the honest citizens have to fear the corrupt government and their media sycophants. Just look at the case of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The shooter defunded the prosecutor. It was some guy wearing a mask, so it could have been the Lone Ranger.

Apparently, the shooter has been questioned and released.
I think the BRPD and Parish Sheriff's Office are still probably a bit more receptive to the notion of armed citizens than they might otherwise be.
Death wish. I hope.
“..Shooting a murderer and then disappearing is odd....”
Not in this day and age. Even IF it was a totally legitimate shoot, he still could be facing anywhere from $10k to $15K in legal costs to get off. IF the dead perp was black, maybe even more or not get off at all. Yeah. Can’t say as I blame him for disappearing asap.
FWIW, in and around these parts, it’s shoot, shovel and shut up. Actually, there’s a real nice bayou down the road that is solid chock full of gators and turtles. Not much that goes in it, ever comes back out. Then, there are feral hogs everywhere around here and they will eat anything....just sayin’.
So You live near a Wildlife Refuge. That’s really cool.;)
I load my ccw magazines with gloved hands, never touching the ammo. If I ever have to shoot someone my presence afterward is based on the presence of witnesses. No witness and a clear path to leave then I would leave. If there are witnesses then I hang around. Simple choice of self preservation.
“...So You live near a Wildlife Refuge. That’s really cool.;)...”
We live so far back in the bayou, we have to pump sunlight in here. This is the LAST PLACE one would want to come to try and stir up shite...that’s assuming they ever wanted to see daylight ever again.
Sounds perfect.
You might be live’n near Copperhead Road.
“...You might be live’n near Copperhead Road....”
Not far from the Sabine close to the Louisiana line.
