Kemond Brooks

Kemond Brooks was 33 when his life was taken in August 2024. Though public records and news accounts are limited, the available and reliable reports place him as a familiar presence in the Scotlandville neighborhood of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Friends and contributors on memorial sites remember Kemond as part of the local community. Local news coverage identifies him as the man who was shot outside the Triple A Food Mart on Elmer Avenue on the evening of August 11, 2024. He was transported to a nearby hospital and later died from his injuries. Those reports note a second person injured in the same incident was expected to survive. Beyond these public facts, family and community recollections preserved in memorial postings emphasize his human connections — caring, humble, and remembered by relatives and neighbors.

While there is no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice located in the public record that matches an exact published death notice, the factual record indicates Kemond was a real person known by his community. Memorial contributors have shared brief tributes and photographs that highlight his place among friends and family in Baton Rouge.

Because formal, family-authorized obituary details (such as a full birth date, surviving relatives listed by name, or service arrangements) were not found in established obituary outlets, this remembrance focuses on the fact of Kemond’s life and community ties rather than the circumstances of his death. Those who knew him recall a life lived among neighbors — small acts of care, days at work, and ties to local places — and those memories are the durable part of his story.

Kemond’s death left a hole in the Scotlandville neighborhood and among those who remembered him. Even when public details are limited, it is clear his life mattered to people around him; this page honors that memory and the dignity of the life he lived.
