Today, on August 8, 2017, Keith Howard Odom stopped his semi truck in a shopping center parking lot to repair a tire. He was approached by a young man who demanded his wallet and other valuables. After he turned them over, the 18-year-old Landry Carter took a step back and shot Keith in the abdomen, killing him.
"Police have arrested Landry Carter, 18, of 11726 Tams Drive, in the slaying of Keith Odom. Carter also is accused of three recent armed robberies in Baton Rouge.
Carter is also being booked on three counts of armed robbery: of the Family Dollar, 12132 Florida Blvd., on June 11 and of the Dollar General, 191 Little John, on June 14 and July 3, McKneely said.
There may have been others involved in the shooting of Odom or who helped Carter with the robberies, McKneely said, adding that police are still looking for additional witnesses.
Odom, 49, of Jonesborough, Tennessee, was shot about 8 a.m. Tuesday while repairing a tire on his 18-wheeler in the Longbow shopping center, police have said."

Another former NBA player on Friday announced he has plans to enter the WNBA draft.
“As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” said former NBA player and current Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Royce White.
“I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman! My wig is in the mail,” he said.
Fox News reported:
"Former NBA player Royce White told Fox News Digital that he apparently plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, as he now claims to be transgender.
There are now two former NBA players to announce such a decision, after Enes Kanter Freedom made his announcement earlier on Friday.
“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well,” White said.
“I think I’d be unstoppable. But I’m a team-first guy. I’m a pass-first kind of player. I do the little things. I led my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa State University, so I do a little bit of everything. I’ll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I’ll do whatever the girls need me to do…
“I think it’s only fair.”
White said only the league could end his challenge by stating its position plainly on the subject of males playing in women’s sports.
Earlier Friday, ex-NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom announced a bid for the 2027 WNBA draft.
“If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA,” Enes Kanter Freedom said.
“My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027,” he said."

As the Jacksonville Daily News reported, a Jacksonville DoorDash driver was on her way to deliver an order at 1:19 a.m. Saturday, when she came up to a green traffic light. But the car in front of her, a Range Rover, refused to move.
The DoorDash driver, identified as 34-year-old Christen Phillips, began honking her horn. The driver allowed Phillips to pass, but then followed her all the way to her stop.
Once Phillips got out of the car and delivered the order, the Range Rover driver assaulted her with a wooden bat just as she was about to enter her vehicle to drive back home.
She was left unconscious as a result. When she woke up, she drove herself to the hospital.
Phillips shared more details of the savage attack in a Facebook Post on Sunday.
Saturday morning, around 2 a.m., I was delivering my last DoorDash order, and I was attacked by someone randomly who, about five minutes earlier, was sitting at a green light, not moving.
I honked my horn, he went, but then got behind me and started tail gaiting me. He followed me to the delivery, I stopped.
He kept going so I got out and ran up to deliver the food. He turned around and came back… parked in front of my car, blocking me, and when I ran back to my car, he came around to my door with a small wooden bat or baton and beat me in the head and face with it. I don’t remember it at all. I woke up an unverified amount of time later.
The guy was gone and I could not find my phone.
Once Phillips arrived at the hospital despite the horrific attack, she was transported to a trauma center in Wilmington. She also described the type of brain injuries she had.
I didn’t know what to do, so I drove to the hospital. I had to speak to a few deputies and detectives while I was there who went to the scene and found my phone. They said with the amount of blood at the scene and in my car, it was unbelievable that I was able to drive myself to the hospital.
I had to be transported to a trauma center in Wilmington. I had multiple skull fractures and brain bleeds and blood and cerebral fluid draining from my left ear for hours. My cheek bone on my left side is also fractured. I had surgery on my brain last night at 430 and got out at about 7, woke up around 10/1030.
Phillips described her attacker as a “light-skinned, roughly 6-foot-tall black man.”
The driver of the car was a light(ish) skinned black man, about 6 foot. Maybe late 30s-40 something years old. Short dark hair. Drove a black Range Rover (I remember seeing the Range Rover emblem at the light). And that’s all I really remember.
Not surprisingly, this alleged fact, omitted from coverage and police statements, has outraged many Americans.
The driver of the vehicle has not yet been apprehended.
Phillips says she has already undergone multiple brain surgeries and has another scheduled for Monday. Alarmingly, she has revealed that she still has brain fluid leaking from her left ear.
She is also undergoing facial surgery today.
A friend of Phillips has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover her expenses and medical bills, as it is impossible for her to make a living right now.
