BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A 40-year-old Baton Rouge man was indicted Wednesday in the deaths of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, her unborn child and her younger brother.
Baton Rouge police said an East Baton Rouge grand jury indicted Percy Cage on multiple charges, including the murders of Tonya Smith, 31, her fetus and Renna Boreaux, Smith's 15-year-old brother. He was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, one count of second-degree feticide, two counts of aggravated criminal damage to property, two counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of aggravated criminal damage to property.
Cage allegedly fired shots into the home where Smith and Boreaux were. The shooting happened on Aug. 14 in the 9500 block of Syble Drive. He allegedly fired shots into a home in the 5600 block of Truman in Baker that same day. According to sheriff's deputies, people were also inside that home but no one was hit. Baton Rouge police said Cage was found hiding in Ascension Parish and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on unrelated battery charges.
He remained in jail on the battery charges while the shootings were investigated. Both the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office filed additional charges against Cage Thursday morning, following the indictment.
