According to an arrest affidavit, East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a shooting on May 14 in the 12400 block of Jefferson Highway. When they arrived, they found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds. The person was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Investigators learned from witnesses that the suspected shooter, identified as Jaworski Matthews, 19, is the ex-boyfriend of one of the people involved. According to the victim, Matthews had previously made threats and said he would “crash out” over the end of their relationship.
On the day of the incident, the victim and a group of friends were at the pool at their apartment complex. She had left her apartment door unlocked. When they returned, the group found Matthews hiding in the bathroom with a gun.
The victim screamed upon seeing Matthews, prompting her friends to come to her aid. A friend pulled her from the bathroom right when Matthews reportedly fired a shot, hitting someone else in the group. The victim and others ran from the apartment. Matthews chased them but later fled the area.
The victim later identified Matthews as the shooter. He was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of aggravated burglary and attempted first-degree murder. His bond was set at $145,000, according to jail records.
