An investigation is ongoing into the murder of Cleveland York III, 33, who was shot in the back of the head outside of Beau Pre Townhomes early Monday morning.

York was shot while sitting in his Cadillac SUV and then attempted to drive away from the scene but hit a fence and two parked cars in an adjacent neighborhood.

Jehan Vidrine, construction management junior, was on his way home when he saw a police car and an ambulance race by him on Brightside Drive.

“I was turning onto Brightside from Alvin Dark and I saw the lights behind me,” Vidrine said. “Then I saw a lot more of them in the area by [Beau Pre].”

Beau Pre had a similar violent incident last April in a drug-related robbery and shooting in which a man was left in critical condition after being shot in the head, according to WAFB.

“The area definitely has seen people move in who don’t fit into the college setting,” Vidrine said. “The whole incident was kind of sketchy with the guy sitting in his really nice SUV getting shot in the back of the head.”

LSU Police Department Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said while LSUPD monitors trends and incidents that occur in areas near campus, they have no plans to increase patrols following the incident.

“The LSU community we serve extends outside of our jurisdictional limits thought their daily routines,” Lalonde said. “We always encourage them to be aware of their surroundings at all times.”
