(AP) – Baton Rouge Police say a man found in his car after a shooting was apparently a would-be robber.
Cpl. Tommy Stubbs says 22-year-old Charles “Wayne” Alexander of Baton Rouge died at a hospital after police found him lying in his car, suffering from bullet wounds.
He says that shortly after police were called to the shooting scene, a man called police and then turned himself in, saying he had shot a man who had tried to rob him. Police did not release that man’s name.
Stubbs says police have not filed any charges. The case is still being investigated.
He asks anyone with information about the shooting to call the homicide office at 225-389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-7867.
