If there ever was a boy who was a living legend in his neck of the woods, well for West Monroe, Louisiana in the early 1980’s it was Jimmy Townsend.  Jimmy was smart, talented, good looking, and liked by all.  He was known in West Monroe for his athleticism and the ability to carry his youth sports teams to success.  It was thought that Jimmy would most certainly someday take his talents to the Majors.  Jimmy as it seemed was destined for big things.  Jimmy and a group of friends were confronted and attacked by a group of older boys at the annual Ark-La-Miss fair. Jimmy was beaten to death by those boys. The reports vary but it could have been as many as 7 older boys that surrounded and beat Jimmy Townsend to death.  The murder of 13 year old Jimmy Townsend is still unsolved. If you have any information about this crime, please call the Monroe Police Department at 1-318-329-2600.
