BATON ROUGE, La. (The Baton Rouge Advocate)- A woman shot and killed in a Sherwood Forest neighborhood Tuesday evening was dropping off a friend after dinner when a masked gunman approached and fired one shot that killed the woman, according to the survivor’s fiance.
Kenny Williams said Wednesday that the shooting of Janessa Hartley, 57, was captured on his house’s surveillance cameras. He said the shooter fled the scene on foot.
“It’s scary to think this person is still out there,” Williams said. “We’re just hoping we get a call soon saying (authorities) found someone.”
Police said Hartley lived with her family about half a mile from her friend’s house where the shooting occurred.
Williams said his fiance, who didn’t want to be interviewed Wednesday, was in the passenger seat of the vehicle when the shooting occurred. He said the surveillance video shows a person — who appears to be a masked man — approach the car before firing one shot into the driver’s side door.
