The Advocate - A bachelor’s party at a Baton Rouge club early Friday morning was cut short after a comment on a stranger’s Florida Gators attire led to a car chase and a drive-by shooting.

Big time story right here, let’s break it down piece by piece.

A bachelor’s party at a Baton Rouge club early Friday morning was cut short after a comment on a stranger’s Florida Gators attire led to a car chase and a drive-by shooting.

Talk about a lede. The thing is that for people like me and you that’s a pretty shocking opener. But down in SEC country that probably wasn’t even the only college football-inspired bachelor party shooting of the night.

Everett L. Beauchamp IV, 32, was at The Penthouse Club on Bennington Avenue around 2:15 a.m. when one of six men at a bachelor’s party made an unwanted comment on Beauchamp’s Florida Gators gear, the Baton Rouge Police Department report says.

In response, Beauchamp picked up a stool at the valet entrance to the club and tried to assault the man who made the comment, but he was stopped.

You don’t wear a Florida Gators shirt to a Baton Rouge bar without being ready to rumble. I mean you’re just actively looking for trouble at that point, and your first move being to go straight for the barstool to smash over somebody’s head just proves it.

Usually it’s pushing and shoving. Lot of hard verbal attacks. Maybe even a fist or two raised. But just walking over to the valet stand and picking up a stool is such a “I’ve been waiting for this fight my whole life” move.

Beauchamp threatened to get a weapon and walked to his vehicle to get a handgun, the report says, at which time the men drove away in their vehicle.

Beauchamp followed them in his 2013 Ford Raptor down College Drive onto I-10 eastbound, the report says. The men exited at Essen Lane, only to get back onto I-10 going westbound, at which point Beauchamp tried to ram his vehicle into theirs.

Beauchamp followed them onto the interstate and as they reached the I-10 westbound, I-12 eastbound loop Beauchamp opened fire on their vehicle, striking the vehicle once under the driver’s side taillight.

The men only lost Beauchamp after they exited the interstate at Dalrymple Drive, according to the report.

Is it wild to go real-life GTA and chase down a car on the highway and try to ram them off the road then open fire with a gun literally trying to kill all of them for insulting your T-shirt? Again, maybe for you, maybe for me. For Everett Beauchamp it’s just how life is.

Probably was nervous about what the message boards would say about him if he DIDN’T go all out for revenge defending the Gators.

Shortly before 3 a.m. uniform patrolers found an impaired Beauchamp and his vehicle after he drove his truck into the LSU Lakes at East Lakeshore near Stanford Avenue, according to the report.

Beauchamp told police he had consumed between eight and 10 Corona beers, the report says. A breath test revealed that his blood alcohol level was 0.19.

Police found a Taurus .45 caliber handgun at the scene.

8-10 Corona beers and a casual highway shootout. You don’t see that shit in the Big 10.
