“
In both cases, the gunman shot the men, both of whom were on foot, then exited his car and “shot them to death,” according to the bulletin. In both murders, the suspect was wearing dark clothes, including possibly a tactical vest, and carrying a 9-mm handgun. Video shows the man driving a red, four-door “small, older sedan with shiny rims,” the bulletin says.
A national ballistics database has connected the two killings, the bulletin says.
Baton Rouge detectives have urged neighboring law enforcement agencies to help them search for the man, whom they described as a white man, about 5-foot-9, medium build, with a close “military-style” haircut. While both victims were black, Dunnam said there is no evidence to say the killings are racially motivated.

Sources: Baton Rouge police on ‘all-out hunt’ for gunman linked to 2 apparently random fatal shootings
So it appears that a white man wearing dark clothes, a tactical vest, and a military haircut murdered two black men who were walking on the street in Baton Rouge.
I wouldn’t call these “random” killings.
Anyone with information about the homicides is urged to contact the Violent Crimes Unit at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.
