EAST BATON ROUGE — Three people have been arrested after an early afternoon pursuit in Shenandoah with East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputies in connection to a shooting on Woodlawn Acres Ave.
It comes after a shooting that happened on Friday, Jan. 3, 2025 in the 15000 block of Woodland Acres Ave. In that shooting, deputies say two unidentified men approached the home and opened fire. The home and vehicles were riddled with bullets with holes and evidence markers visible from the roadway. No one was injured in the shooting.
Deputies say they learned that an unknown shooter from inside the Woodland Acres Ave. home allegedly returned fire through a closed door. Those bullet(s) ended up going across the street and hit two vehicles. All the suspects fled the scene.
It’s why EBRSO deputies obtained arrest warrants for Dylan Brownware, 20, & Kevin Davis, 17, they were executing on Jan. 6 around 2 p.m. at 4822 Five Forks Dr. That’s in the Shenandoah area and the two are believed to be connected to the shooting on Woodlawn Acres Ave. on Friday.
Prior to executing the warrant by the SWAT team, EBRSO’s Gang Intelligence and Enforcement Unit saw a vehicle leave the home at Five Forks Dr. It’s why deputies attempted to stop the vehicle but instead, deputies were led on a short pursuit. That pursuit ended when the vehicle crashed into a tree at 5625 Port Hudson Drive and three individuals allegedly ran from the vehicle, armed with handguns.
All three men were captured a short time later in the neighborhood. All three handguns were recovered by deputies.
Brownware is charged with five counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated criminal damage to property, firearm/machine gun handling and resisting an officer. EBRSO says Brownware also has an active arrest warrant through the New Orleans Police Dept. for principle to attempted second-degree murder for a shooting that happened in November 2024.
Kevin Davis, 17, was also arrested after the pursuit and he’s charged with five counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated criminal damage to property, firearm/machine gun handling and resisting an officer. Kevin Davis also has an active bench warrant through 19th JDC for illegal carry of weapons and resisting an officer.
Ken Davis, 19, the brother of Kevin Davis, was also arrested after the pursuit. He is not believed to have been involved in the shooting on Woodlawn Acres Ave., according to deputies. But he was arrested and charged with firearm/machine gun handling and resisting an officer.
Following the Jan. 3rd shooting on Woodlawn Acres, Ashley Neal, 30, was arrested the following day and charged with five counts of principal to attempted first-degree murder.
