Mayor's Statement

Today, we commend the hard work and dedication of the Baton Rouge Police Department in bringing to justice the individuals responsible for the tragic killing of 27-year-old Trevor Harrison. Trevor was an innocent bystander, simply doing his job when his life was taken far too soon at 4660 Fairfields Avenue.

Our hearts are with Trevor's family, friends, and colleagues as they continue to grieve this unimaginable loss. While no arrest can ever replace the presence of a loved one, we hope this development brings some measure of peace to the community, and to those who knew and cared for him.

This case is a solemn reminder of the tireless efforts our law enforcement officers put in every day - not just in this instance, but in every investigation that leads to justice being served. Their commitment to keeping our community safe and holding criminals accountable is unwavering, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

Baton Rouge will not tolerate senseless violence. We will continue working alongside law enforcement, community leaders, and residents to ensure that justice is served, and that every person in our city feels safe where they live and work.
