Baton Rouge man convicted of killing pregnant girlfriend, child sentenced
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge man who pleaded guilty to killing his pregnant girlfriend and her son was sentenced Tuesday morning. Brynnen Murphy, 23, was sentenced to 40 years plus 40 years plus 15 years concurrently with credit for time served. The sentencing was part of an agreed-upon plea deal. East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said in April that the victims' family was satisfied with the plea deal. 'I'm sorry to the family. I'm sorry to cause them so much pain,' Murphy said in court Tuesday. Murphy pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and first-degree feticide in connection with the deaths of Kaylen Johnson, 24, and Kaden Johnson, 2, ahead of an April trial. He originally faced two counts of first-degree murder. According to an affidavit, Murphy admitted to fatally shooting Kaylen in March 2022 before taking her car to Central Throughway, where Kaden was thrown over the overpass.

Former Baton Rouge mayor criticizes current administration in social media video
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Former Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome posted a video to social media on Monday, June 9, criticizing the current administration of Mayor-President Sid Edwards. Broome discussed the present state of Baton Rouge, but also responded to accusations that she says were made by Edwards. 'Let me be clear. We don't need coaching. We need concerted, courageous leadership and collaboration. We can't afford to leave Baton Rouge with fear and confusion and political calculation. Our city workers deserve stability. Our families deserve certainty. And our community deserves better,' Broome said. According to Broome, Edwards blamed her administration for leaving him with a financial mess. In the video, she called the comments from Edwards 'categorically false,' stating she tried to prevent the creation of the City of St. George. The former mayor-president went on to say that she offered help to the current administration, but officials have not contacted her.
