BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY) - A new Netflix documentary series is centered around a Baton Rouge case where a father was shot and killed by his own son.

I Just Killed My Dad was released on the streaming platform on Tuesday and is centered around the case of Anthony Templet.

In 2019, 17-year-old Templet killed his father Burt Templet at their residence in Baton Rouge, La. Directly following the shooting, Templet called authorities and immediately confessed, telling the dispatcher: "I just killed my dad."

According to The Advocate, Templet was charged with manslaughter originally, but was later indicted on a second-degree murder count. In 2021, Templet plead no contest to a charge of negligent homicide and was sentenced to five years probation. Templet has always maintained that he acted in self-defense after abuse and neglect.

The series is directed by Skye Borgman who also directed popular shows Abducted in Plain Sight and Girl in the Picture.
