A tragic incident unfolded at a bar in Tigerland, near the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, resulting in the death of a man from Westwego, Louisiana. The father of the deceased confirmed this devastating news on Monday.

The altercation occurred outside Fred's Bar on Bob Pettit Boulevard in the early hours of Saturday, March 23, just before 1:30 a.m. The victim, identified as Devin Michael Repath, was in town for a bachelor party and was initially transported from the scene in critical condition.

J.P. Repath, a well-known disc jockey in the New Orleans area and the father of the deceased, shared his grief on social media, posting a heartfelt tribute that read, "R.I.P.... MY BABYBOY."

The authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, now being treated as a homicide. Investigators are carefully examining footage captured by multiple security cameras at the bar in order to identify all those involved.

According to Baton Rouge Police spokesman Lt. L'Jean McKneely, no arrests have been made thus far, as the investigation is still in its early stages. The East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney, Hillar Moore, commented on the case, stating that it is premature to determine potential charges until more details about the incident become known.

The night of the altercation saw the bar bustling with activity, as it hosted a "Battle of the Bands" fundraiser. This will undoubtedly provide investigators with additional footage to aid in their efforts to piece together the events leading up to the fight.

Devin Michael Repath's untimely death is a tragic reminder of the consequences that can arise from violent altercations. As the investigation continues, authorities will pursue justice for Repath and his grieving family, while determining the proper course of action based on the facts and evidence brought forth in this devastating incident.
