East Baton Rouge woman charged with principal to attempted murder
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge woman was arrested Friday after being accused of cooperating to shoot a man. According to an affidavit, on Thursday, detectives with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office were called to a home in the 7300 block of Richey Drive. When they arrived, deputies found a man in the driveway who had been shot in the arm. The man told authorities that his girlfriend, Ruby Ealy, 48, grabbed a bat during an argument. He said Ealy tried to hit him with the bat but missed. He claims Ealy's brother Darrius then appeared from the side of the home and shot him. Police records state that Ealy was the only one at the home, besides the victim, upon arrival. Deputies interviewed Ealy and learned that she reportedly lied during the interview. She told authorities that she and the victim were the only two people present. After the victim returned from work, they argued. Ealy said she told the victim to leave, and while the two continued arguing, the victim started to pack his belongings. Ealy claims that the victim wrapped his hands around her throat and pushed her onto the couch. She shared that the two of them continued arguing after exiting the home, before the victim was accused of throwing her over the brick wall surrounding the patio. Ealy admitted to arming herself with a bat and that the two began a physical fight inside the home. She said the victim went outside, and she heard gunshots. Once she exited the home, she saw the victim had been shot. She denied knowing or seeing the shooter and told authorities that her siblings live out of state. After detectives confronted Ealy about her not knowing the shooter, she finally admitted that her brother Darrius was present before the shooting and was not present after. Authorities used a DMV photo of Darrius Ealy and showed it to Ruby, who confirmed that the person was her brother. Detectives met with the victim, who confirmed Ealy's claims. The victim mentioned that after Ealy tried swinging the bat at him, he took the bat from her, and she fell to the ground. Darrius reportedly walked around the house and shot him multiple times. He also shared that Ealy and Darrius began hitting him with fists, telling him he should die. Darrius returned to the scene to tell Ealy to make the shooting sound justifiable. The victim verified that Darrius was the shooter. Ealy was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of principal to second-degree murder and domestic abuse battery.
