BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baker woman was arrested after being accused of a drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge.
According to an affidavit, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office was called to the 5200 block of Bangor Drive about a shooting on the morning of May 15.
When they arrived, deputies saw that two cars, as well as a home, had been hit by gunfire. Several of the bullets entered the house.
During an interview, detectives learned that one of the victim’s former dating partners had shown up at the home earlier that day, knocking on the windows. One of the victims identified the suspect as Rea Herrera, 30.
Through an investigation, detectives obtained video surveillance of the incident. The video showed a car matching the description of Herrera’s vehicle passing the residence several times before the shooting. The car was seen passing the home about one minute before a witness said they heard gunshots at around 1:17 a.m.
EBRSO deputies attempted to interview Herrera at her home in Baker, but she denied being involved in the shooting. She became uncooperative and tried to run back into the home, but Baker police officers were able to detain Herrera.
After securing a search warrant for Herrera’s home and car, detectives found several spent bullet casings in the vehicle and an iPhone inside the home. The cell phone revealed a photo of a note, reading “give me my shxt,” that was allegedly left at the victim’s home by Herrera.
Cell phone data confirmed that Herrera was in the area at the time of the shooting.
Herrera was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of four counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, assault by drive-by shooting, and stalking.
