BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office is investigating a triple homicide that happened near Grayson Avenue on Friday, Sept. 27. The sheriff's office said Shelita Vallery, 40, and David Celestine, 62, were pronounced dead at the scene. A third victim, Paul Lewis, 63, was sent to the hospital but later died from his injuries. Dominik Franklin, 19, and Tyrone Eackles, 19, were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and will be booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

The sheriff's office said that Franklin and Eackles, his acquaintance, reportedly showed up at a home on Grayson Avenue and got into a physical fight with the victims before shooting them. One of the victims reportedly returned fire and injured the suspects.  According to EBRSO, Celestine is Vallery's mother's boyfriend and Lewis is another relative.  Franklin was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Eackles was charged with three counts of principal to first-degree murder and illegal use of a firearm.  If anyone has information that could help law enforcement, contact Capital Region Crime Stoppers at 225-344-7867 or make an anonymous tip online.
