Summary
- A 19-year-old was charged with murder for a fatal shooting.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a violent confrontation allegedly sparked by a TikTok dispute resulted in a woman's death. Paulasia Banks, 19, faces a first-degree murder charge for fatally shooting Kassidy Jackson, 18, at her residence on Thursday, January 8. The incident reportedly began when Banks and two unidentified men forced their way into Jackson's home, demanding an explanation for being blocked on TikTok.
Responding to reports of gunfire, police discovered Jackson with a single gunshot wound. She was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. Banks was arrested shortly after the shooting. An arrest affidavit indicates Banks confronted Jackson about the social media snub and her unreachability by phone.
Further details suggest a physical altercation preceded the shooting. Banks claimed she fired a gun through Jackson's door after being forced out. However, another woman present stated the two were not romantically involved. Banks is also charged with aggravated burglary, and authorities continue to seek the identification of the two men involved.
