Gunner Williamson, a 22-year-old Baton Rouge resident, was found lying on the road near Tigerland early Thursday morning.
At approximately 2:15 a.m., Baton Rouge Police Department officers responded to an unresponsive white male found on the 1300 block of Bob Pettit Boulevard. BRPD spokesman Sgt. Don Kelly said he did not appear to have any visible major traumatic injuries, but was unresponsive at the time.
Kelly said Williamson was transported by EMS to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition. At this time, investigators are still not certain of the circumstances that led to Williamson’s condition.
NBC33 reported that Williamson was attacked, beaten and robbed after walking to the store to get a soft drink just a short distance from his apartment.
