3 killed, 2 arrested after shooting at Grayson Avenue home Friday night
BATON ROUGE - Three people were killed in a shooting Friday night that was a result of an ongoing feud between two families that live in the same apartment complex, officials said.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office said 19-year-old Dominik Franklin had an ongoing argument with the Vallery family. Both groups live at the same apartment complex off Airline Highway.
Deputies said Franklin brought his acquaintance 19-year-old Tyrone Eackles to Vallery's mother's home on Grayson Avenue, off Greenwell Street, around 11 p.m. Friday.
Franklin, Eackles, and three people inside the home got into a fight before shots were fired. Deputies said 40-year-old Shelita Vallery and her boyfriend 62-year-old David Celestine were shot and killed. Vallery's relative Paul Lewis was taken to a hospital where he later died.
