BATON ROUGE — At a hearing today, a 19th JDC commissioner denied bond for Landrick Ruffin, the man accused of a shooting that landed a 2-year-old child in the hospital on New Year’s eve.
District Attorney Hillar Moore confirmed that Ruffin’s bond was denied on Jan. 6 by Commissioner Kory Tauzin.
According to BRPD, a woman was driving in the 1500 block of Harding Boulevard on Dec. 31, 2025, when she saw a vehicle she believed had been stolen. She then followed the vehicle to the 2500 block of 79th Street, where Ruffin allegedly exited the vehicle he was in and began shooting, BRPD said.
Ruffin is accused of firing multiple shots toward a vehicle and also injuring the 2-year-old girl inside that vehicle.
He is charged with six counts of attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
No other arrests are expected at this time, but the investigation is still ongoing, per BRPD.
Ruffin’s next bond hearing will be held in April.
