Paul Rice broke his silence Monday after his daughter Allison Rice, a senior at Louisiana State University was found shot to death inside of her car in Baton Rouge.
Paul Rice remembers his daughter Allison Rice, a senior at Louisiana State University who was found shot to death inside of her car in downtown Baton Rouge on 'The Story.'Last Friday at 4:45 am, Louisiana native Paul Rice woke up to police knocking at his door. He thought something had happened in the neighborhood, never imagining that he was about to receive the most devastating news of his life.
Rice told"The Story" that he believes his daughter's death was a case of being in"the wrong place at the wrong time." "The only thing that I can really think at this point is it’s a bad case of wrong place at the wrong time. She’s not anyone that had enemies. We don’t think that she was being stalked or followed," he said."That particular area of Baton Rouge has a history of this type of activity."While police chase down any information pertaining to Allison's death, a grieving Rice wonders how he ended up in the unimaginable position of arranging his 21-year-old daughter's funeral.
"That’s something that as a parent I should never have to plan a funeral for my child. My mother should not have to be involved in a funeral for her grandchild," he said."This is just heartbreaking."Rice praised the local police for working"around the clock" to find Allison's killer. "This is being taken very seriously," he said,"….But despite that, all indications right now are there are no leads. They really don’t have an explanation at this point…as of now, [in] that particular stretch of town, they don’t have the surveillance that is necessary."Police are asking anyone with information to contact call Baton Route Crime Stoppers at 222-344-7867Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
