BATON ROUGE – The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office is looking for a man who was arrested for murder after East Carroll Parish officials allegedly dumped him at a Baton Rouge Rouge bus station.
Watch the Newscast at 10pm live on WBRZ+.
Christopher Davis was arrested in January 2023. for allegedly shooting a man on Edwin Street after an argument.
It’s unknown why Davis was dropped off at the bus station, officials said, and East Carroll Parish notified officials after the fact. WBRZ has reached out to East Carroll Parish officials and is awaiting a response.
Officials also said Davis is not scheduled to return to East Baton Rouge Parish until March 17 for a court date. East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said Davis was transported to the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail along with other East Carroll inmates who were scheduled to be released at a bus station.
Neither Evso nor the district attorney’s office knew that Davis had been transferred to EBR Parish Prison, according to Moore. Moore says it’s unclear why Davis was transported nearly two months before his court date.
Davis’ family spoke to WBRZ, saying they are not only worried about Davis’ safety, but theirs as well.
“We’re worried about him because this is my son, who wouldn’t worry about his children if they love them?” said one family member.
The family said they were unaware of Davis’ apparent release until deputies showed up at their home looking for him.
“They said we don’t have it, one person says one thing, another person [is saying] Another thing, we’re trying to figure out what’s going on, is this a setup? “
However, they were confused by how Davis was released.
“Why did you release him in the first place? You’re going to tell us he shouldn’t be released, but he was released, you made a big hiccup,” said a Davis family member. “When your protocol is to take the van and drive [him] to the parish prison EBR and the prison releases [him]but you leave [him] Outside the bus station he didn’t run away, you let him go. “
The family urged Davis to turn himself in to authorities.
Anyone with information on Davis’ whereabouts is encouraged to call 911 or the EBRO office at 225-389-5000. WBRZ will sit down with the Davis family at 10 p.m
