What’s the background?

Nikki Bullock, the mother in question, spoke to WCAU-TV about the ordeal, which took place around 8:45 p.m. Sunday in Center City.

Bullock told the station she was delivering food with her girlfriend and their two children when the assailant — who was riding with large group of bikers — hit her car.

“They’re not paying attention to lanes. They’re just doing whatever. So I’m turning in the lane, and he just hits the side of the car,” Bullock told WCAU, adding that she argued with the biker afterward.

Officials ended the game at halftime after the incident, moving bystanders out of the area as medics and law enforcement arrived at the scene.

Local news station WBRZ identified the shooting victim as 16-year-old Ja’Kobe Queen. Sheriff’s deputies told the outlet Queen’s killing stemmed from an argument with the suspect. Police did not disclose details of the dispute. 

“We are deeply saddened by the shooting that took place at the Port Allen High/Brusly High football game on Friday night,” the West Baton Rouge School Board wrote in a statement following the tragedy. “Our first priorities at this time are to assist the family of the student who died, and all our students, and to assist the West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office in its investigation.”
