BATON ROUGE — Five men were indicted for the murder of a 29-year-old at a barbershop off Greenwell Springs Road.

Marvin Tolliver, 29, died in the Oct. 2025 shooting in the 9700 block of Platt Drive.

Travis Kenny Jr., Gregory Stewart Jr., Sylvester Bouligny III, Reginald Grimes Jr. and Gianni Rankins were all indicted on Oct. 29 for second-degree murder, illegal use of weapons and obstruction of justice.

According to arrest documents, Bouligny had paid a non-refundable $150 deposit for a tattoo appointment at Faded District Barbershop. When Bouligny showed up late to his 4 p.m. appointment, the tattoo artist told him to reschedule for a time later that day or wait until the artist was done with his current client.

The affidavit says Bouligny left and went to the Glen Oaks area to pick up two other people before returning to the barbershop. Bouligny demanded a refund from the artist and punched him when he refused.

While he and the tattoo artist fought in the tattoo room, the two other men fired shots inside the barbershop, killing Tolliver in the crossfire.
