  BATON ROUGE, La. — Nobody was ready for that phone call. Not his mama. Not his friends. Not the neighbors on Wooddale Boulevard who probably saw him walking around just days before. On Wednesday evening, around 5:30 in the afternoon, a 15 year old boy named Tyruan Dunn was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, near the corner of Wooddale Boulevard and Lobwood Drive. By the time first responders rushed to the scene and did everything they could, it was too late. Tyruan was gone. The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office made it official, releasing his name after his family had been notified. That part alone is gut wrenching to think about. Someone had to sit down with his people and tell them the worst news of their lives. Tyruan Dunn was only 15 years old. Fifteen. That's a kid who should have been stressing over homework, texting his friends, maybe arguing about what to watch on TV. Instead, his family is now planning a funeral.
