BATON ROUGE — A Lafayette man is wanted after he allegedly pistol-whipped an LSU student in the Business Education Complex after he followed the victim from his apartment in early October, according to an arrest warrant. 

Corey Willis Jr., 24, is wanted by Baton Rouge police for allegedly carrying a firearm on school property and aggravated second-degree battery. 

LSU police responded to the Business Education Complex around 3:41 p.m. on Oct. 7 after a report that, during a fight, a student had sustained a large cut on his face. 

When officers arrived, they reportedly saw large amounts of blood on the floor and walls of the hallway outside the bathroom, as well as the counter and floor of the bathroom.

The attacked student told police that Willis had followed him from his on-campus apartment to the business school where the fight started, and Willis pulled out a handgun, according to the arrest warrant. The victim was reportedly able to take hold of the weapon and remove the magazine before Willis regained control of the pistol and began to beat him with it.

A witness told officers that he heard the fight happen and saw that as Willis was leaving, he was "handling something in his pocket," according to the arrest warrant. The witness also reported that he saw Willis appear to pick up a bullet before he left he left.

Surveillance footage also shows Willis leaving the scene while clutching something in his hoodie pocket.

Footage before the incident shows Willis and the victim near the Pentagon, where Willis appears to show the victim something in his waistband. 

The affidavit says the student FaceTime called his aunt as Willis was following him, and the aunt began screen-recording after she realized something was wrong. She was able to provide a video of Willis punching the victim in the face to police.

The victim told officials that he did not know Willis; however, he had seen Willis before at an on-campus apartment complex where he confronted Willis about harassing some women.

The victim was brought to a hospital, where he was treated for a dislocated shoulder. 

WBRZ previously reported that LSU sent a mass text to students on the afternoon of Oct. 7 informing students that LSU PD was searching for a suspect in an aggravated assault that occurred on campus.

LSU later released photographs of the man—wearing a black zip-up hoodie and khaki cargo shorts—connected to the incident in an effort to identify him.
