LSU Student Discovered Dead In Her Car From Gunshot Wound

Louisiana State University senior Allison Rice, 21, was discovered dead from gunshot wounds inside of her car Friday morning in Baton Rouge.

Rice’s car was found with at least five or six bullet holes near the railroad tracks on the edge of downtown Baton Rouge, a source told WAFB. Police suggested that she was stopped at the tracks as she waited for a train to pass when the shooting took place, according to WAFB.

Witnesses said that she was attempting to make a U-turn when her car was shot, according to 4WWL. No suspects or motives have been identified at this time, but the investigation is ongoing, WAFB noted.

“She was the sweetest person I knew and gave me such good advice because I was a freshmen and she was a senior. She was so funny and made everyone laugh all the time.”
