<div> <p>Juan Joseph was a beloved member of his community, a former high school football star who became a respected coach. The kind of guy who never started fights, but rather always stepped in to try to break them up, Juan was attempting to diffuse a heated situation outside a nightclub in Baton Rouge in the early morning of November 16, 2014, when he was was gunned down. After his killer drove off, Juan's entire community came together to find him and bring him to justice. This is a tragic and freaking HEARTWRENCHING story, Fam. Bring the tissues. </p><p><em>Find and watch "Do It for Juan" on Hulu<br></em><br><strong>LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?</strong> On our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TrueCrimeObsessed">Patreon feed</a>, you'll find over 400 FULL AD-FREE BONUS episodes to <strong>BINGE RIGHT NOW</strong>,<strong> </strong>including our episode-by-episode coverage of popular documentary series like <strong><em>Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God</em></strong><em>,</em><strong><em> LulaRich</em></strong><em>, </em>and<strong><em> The Curious Case of Natalia Grace</em></strong><em>; </em>classics like<strong><em> The Jinx</em></strong><em>,</em><strong><em> Making A Murderer</em></strong><em>, </em>and<strong> </strong><strong><em>The Staircase</em></strong><em>; </em>and well-known cases like<strong> </strong><strong><em>The Menendez Murders</em></strong><em>,</em><strong><em> Casey Anthony: American Murder Mystery</em></strong><em>, </em>and<strong> </strong><strong><em>The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann</em></strong><em>, </em>and so many more!</p><p><strong>Episode Sponsors:</strong></p></div><ul> <li> <a href="https://www.zennioptical.com/?utm_campaign=podcast_launch&amp;utm_source=podscribe&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_content=hostread&amp;utm_marketing_tactic=EG000000000">Zenni Optical</a> - Prescription glasses, sunglasses, blue light lenses, starting at under $30.  Go to <a href="http://www.zenni.com/podcast">www.zenni.com/podcast</a> and use code PODCAST15 for fifteen percent off your first order!</li> <li> <a href="https://www.saltandstone.com/products/mini-deodorant-discovery-set?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=podcast_15off&amp;utm_content=truecrimeobsessed">Salt and Stone</a> - Try Salt and Stone’s discovery set to find <strong><em>your </em></strong>signature scent — Go to <a href="http://www.SaltandStone.com/TCO">www.SaltandStone.com/TCO</a> and use code TCO at checkout for 15% off your first order. </li> <li> <a href="https://www.fabletics.com/quiz?gender=F&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_source=oxfordroad&amp;utm_term=FLNAPOD074&amp;code=8A0F23">Fabletics</a> - Shop now at <a href="http://www.fabletics.com/TCO">www.Fabletics.com/TCO</a> to get seventy to eighty percent off everything when you sign up as a new VIP</li> <li>Earnin - Get access to your pay as you work.
