BATON ROUGE - As Baton Rouge is set to surpass last year's record murder rate, prosecutors handling juvenile cases in East Baton Rouge Parish are also watching cases involving juveniles committing heinous crimes increase.
In other states, District Attorney Hillar Moore said parents can be held criminally liable for their children's actions. However, in Louisiana parents typically can only be held accountable for negligent supervision.
A 16-year-old was arrested this week, accused in the shooting death of 20-year-old Keishune Thomas. Investigators said the teen went to meet up with Thomas for a drug transaction, and that's when he allegedly shot and robbed him. When detectives conducted a search on his house, they found drugs, four guns and cash. One of the guns that was seized was tested by the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab and matched the gun used in the shooting that killed Thomas.
