One year later, no arrest in Allie Rice murder
However, today, September 16, 2023, Allie’s murderer has walked free for a year.
Did human trafficking gangsters kill Allie Rice?
After reading last week’s Bayou Justice column on Louisiana State University student Allison Rice’s murder, a retired Baton Rouge police officer contacted me with a theory. He suggested the “carjackers” described by the Baton Rouge Police Department destroyed Allison’s SUV because they had no interest in the vehicle. The attackers, he believes, planned to abduct Allison and only killed her when she attempted to escape.
Allie Rice’s murderers remain at large
Allison Rice, a 21-year-old senior and marketing major at LSU, worked part-time at The Shed BBQ near the campus. Around 2:19 that morning, driving home to her apartment, Allie stopped her silver SUV at a train crossing in the 1500 block of Government Street. Soon after, to avoid the train or escape an attacker, she seemingly attempted to make a U-turn before someone shot her multiple times in the chest.
