BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Donaldsonville man pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a shooting that left one person injured while he was out on bond.
Kahlil Howard, 27, pleaded guilty to charges of attempted second-degree murder and armed robbery.
According to the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office, deputies were called to a Sept. 8, 2017, shooting behind the Mississippi River levee in Ascension Parish. Detectives found the shooting victim at a hospital.
Investigators learned that the shooting victim had given a ride to Howard. According to an arrest report, the victim and Howard had previously met through a mutual friend but did not personally know each other. Officials said Howard took out a gun, then told the shooting victim to drive across the Mississippi River levee into a cow pasture. He ordered the victim out of the car at gunpoint and reportedly demanded money before firing multiple shots.
Howard was taken into custody and booked into the Ascension Parish Jail. He was out on bond for a separate case at the time of the 2017 shooting. The district attorney’s office noted that Howard is currently serving a 20-year sentence for a 2021 manslaughter conviction.
Howard is facing up to 50 years in state prison for the attempted second-degree murder charge and up to 99 years for the armed robbery charge.
