The shooting occurred on June 8 between 12:30 and 1 a.m. at a home on Seminary Street, according to LaGrange police. Javeon Dukes, 19, was killed, and six others were injured.
Nearly five months later, no suspects have been identified.

City officials have now increased the reward to help find the killer. The city is offering $10,000 for information leading to an arrest, with Crime Stoppers adding $2,000, bringing the total to $12,000.
