BATON ROUGE — The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office said Thursday that a 29-year-old man was shot and killed at a barbershop off Greenwell Springs Road after a disagreement over a tattoo.

Marvin Tolliver, a barber at Fade District Barbershop, was killed in the Wednesday evening shooting. Baton Rouge Police said they received a call about the shooting around 6:33 p.m.

Footage from the scene showed bullet holes in the shop's front windows.
