A fight that began on the phone ended with a 22-year-old man dead in a Baton Rouge apartment complex parking lot. Sarantis Thomas was shot and killed around 1:30 p.m. on June 6, 2024, at 1919 Boulevard de Province; he died at the scene from gunshot wounds. Thomas did not live at the complex, and police say the dispute escalated after he drove there.

Baton Rouge Police Homicide Detectives say a teenager who lived at the complex was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Investigators allege the teen’s mother, D’ana Broadway, helped her son flee and has been charged as an accessory after the fact to second-degree murder.

What details about the confrontation or the people involved might help explain how a phone argument led to this shooting, and does anyone have information about the incident or the victims?
