WAFB 9 News Baton Rouge, Louisiana News, Weather, SportsRelatives of man found in Plaquemine ditch want more arrests

Disturbing cell phone video depicting a brutal fight that ultimately killed a Plaquemine man has left relatives with more questions than answers.

West Baton Rouge detectives charged Charles "Ray" Burton in connection with the death of 26-year-old Robert "Bobby" Crowe. But Crowe's family believes more than one person is responsible.

Detectives confirmed what his stepmother, Gwen Crowe, says she feared from the moment she learned a trucker found a man's body face down in a ditch off of LA Highway 1 in Plaquemine.

"It's hard to think did he suffer? Was he in that ditch? Was he still alive and hurting?" Crowe asked.

The video shows a fight between Bobby Crowe and Burton. Burton is on top of Bobby, delivering blow after blow to his head. A girl eventually tried to kick Burton off of him. But Burton stops only after a guy witnessing the fight says "Ray, that's good."  Bobby struggles to stand up.

Bobby Crowe's sister, Jessica Vaughn, believes the fight was just one of a few incidents that led to her brother's death.

"He was still alive after that. He didn't beat him to death. He might have caused some head injury, swelling, bleeding in the brain. I don't know. It's killing me. I just don't know," Crowe said.

West Baton Rouge Sheriff Mike Cazes confirms his investigators got the video Monday night and interviewed 27 people in connection with the incident. Burton was charged with manslaughter. Vaughn believes her brother and Burton were fighting over a girl. But Bobby's relatives are convinced more people are responsible for his death.

"I'm thinking there should be more arrests made because why didn't someone stop the fight instead of egging it on," Crowe said.

Bobby's relatives believe someone dumped his body in the ditch and left him to die. They say it is a mystery they hope detectives will soon uncover.

Sheriff Cazes says he believes Crowe was walking home when he succumbed to his injuries. That would mean Crowe walked five miles before he made it to the ditch. But the sheriff says the case is still open and investigators are still interviewing witnesses.
