Brusly Man Sentenced to 49 Years | Baton Rouge News

A Brusly man, Tyler Davis, just received a 49-year prison sentence for shooting and killing 18-year-old Ja’Morius Mitchell, setting the field on fire to cover up the crime. Davis pleaded guilty to manslaughter, obstruction of justice, and unauthorized entry. Found weeks later burned in a ditch, Mitchell’s body was identified through dental records. Davis fled after police found a murder weapon in his shed, later hiding in a Port Allen home before being captured in early 2025. District Attorney Tony Clayton vowed to keep prosecuting gun violence with relentless force — justice, though delayed, is being served.
