Overview
- Quinton Dixon, 44, was found in the cafeteria of the abandoned Glen Oaks Middle School on Jan. 28, and Baton Rouge police said he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office confirmed the body was Dixon, with cause and manner listed as under investigation in coroner reviews.
- A warrant filed earlier that day charged Dixon with four counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile tied to Instagram messages sent between November and early January.
- Court documents described the alleged messages as consistent with grooming behavior and included references to the teen's appearance, ride offers, and hints at a future relationship.
- Dixon had been on administrative leave since Jan. 15 after an anonymous whistleblower shared alleged messages with the district, which has offered counseling resources to students and staff.
