BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – 41-year-old Kendrick Myles is under arrest after allegedly committing a string of crimes over a seven-hour period.

After kidnapping the 9-year-old, Myles travelled to a residence in the 3600 block of Osceola St.

After that, Myles made to West Upland St. and “fired multiple shots into a home, striking 2-year-old Azariah Thomas,” according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.

The 2-year-old boy died later at a local hospital.

Now almost 2 hours into this ‘rampage,’ “Myles and another family member exchanged gunfire,” at 1431 Snipe St.

No one was hurt in that shooting on Snipe St.

This all came to an end when Myles was caught around 2:45 a.m.

BRPD says, “Myles was taken into custody in the 1600 block of Swan Ave.”

The 9-year-old who was kidnapped is back home safe and sound.
