He said he was driving on Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge when he discovered he was heading the wrong direction, so he got off. He had been driving with the air conditioning off and the windows down to save gas.

I went to middle and high school right off of the 110... It's a small stretch of high way that attaches the I-10 to the northern cites in the East Baton Rouge Metro Areas of Baker and Zachary. It was NOT a safe neighborhood at all (graduated from the school in '97)... And I can imagine it's a lot worst even now.

Exactly

North BR is a pit - every bit as bad as NOLA. Guess who populates the area?

yep, the infamous North BR which was the home of working class and now is the home of BR crime.

He must have tried to turn around. When I drive thru that area on the way to the airport I am always worried I will have to get off for some reason.

It isn't safe. And one of our home grown criminals shot him. No refuge crime here.
