BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – A man was arrested by police after allegedly streaming a stabbing on Facebook Live.

The Baton Rouge Police Department was called to a location on S. Sherwood Forest Blvd. on Monday night. Officers arrived at approximately 9:52 p.m. and immediately initiated an investigation into reports of a “deceased female,” according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.

The investigation led to the arrest of Earl Lee Johnson Jr., 35, of Baton Rouge. He is currently being held in EBR Parish Prison without bond.

BRPD found the body of 34-year-old Janice David of Baton Rouge, inside a vehicle at this location on S. Sherwood Forest Blvd.

Further investigation led investigators to believe David had been beaten and stabbed to death, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department. Police say Louisiana State Police alerted detectives with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office about “a Facebook Live Video that recorded a male stabbing a female.”
