Baton Rouge man arrested, accused of shooting repair man
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Baton Rouge Police Department has arrested a man accused of shooting another man during an argument Thursday night. According to an arrest affidavit, officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 1600 block of Blanche Court. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim told detectives he had been shot by a 'heavy-set Black male wearing a hair scarf or rag.' While canvassing the area, officers spotted a man matching that description leaving a nearby home. The man, later identified as Bradford Williams, 47, reportedly locked the door behind him and approached police. After being read his Miranda rights, he shouted, 'I wanted to kill him.' Williams was detained and placed in a patrol car. While officers secured the scene, they overheard Williams on a phone call, captured on dashcam video, admitting to the shooting. The victim told investigators he had been working on plumbing at the home and was given $40 by Williams to buy materials. Upon returning, he gave Williams his change and mentioned he needed more supplies. According to the victim, Williams became agitated and demanded he 'do something' for him. Williams then went inside the home, returned with a rifle, and fired six to seven shots, which hit the victim in the leg. Williams was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. No bond amount has been set, according to jail records.
