The Advocate's Top Headlines

with Jennifer Wadsworth | Assistant metro editor

Good afternoon. Here's a look at our top stories today.


Timeline of Saturday's manhunt

Matthew Mire is due in three separate court hearings today in the parishes where authorities say he committed consecutive double-shootings before leading them on a daylong manhunt over the weekend. Check advocate.com later this afternoon for an update on those appearances. 

Meanwhile, we put together a timeline based on his arrest affidavits. Click here to read how the multi-parish chase unfolded on Saturday. 


Two fatal shootings Monday

Baton Rouge police responded to two fatal shootings within a half hour late Monday. One took place on Convention Street just south of Florida Boulevard, the other on Pembroke.


Good dog

When is a hot dog not just a hot dog? When it’s one of the gourmet dogs served up by Frankie’s Dawg House. Just a little off the beaten path, Frankie’s is known for its Chicago Dawg, its boudin Red Dawg and the Chuck Norris, which is topped with chili, nacho cheese sauce, bacon, grilled onions and jalapenos.

See what else is on the menu here.
