Keante Burton charged with double murder after arrest in Louisiana

Keante Burton, 26, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with a double shooting in Baton Rouge from January 2023, resulting in the deaths of Rajanee Williams, 21, and Dejonte Williams, 18. After being identified as a suspect, Burton was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in Concordia Parish on February 21, 2025, before being extradited to Baton Rouge. In another case, Fabian Charles, 34, from Texas, faces second-degree murder charges following the fatal shooting of Javin Augustus, 25, during a physical altercation in a Lake Charles parking lot. Charles has also been charged with obstruction of justice and illegal use of a weapon, with a bond set at $1.7 million. These incidents reflect a troubling trend of violence in the region, with law enforcement actively pursuing suspects in both cases to bring justice to the victims' families.
