Baton Rouge teen will be tried as an adult in deadly 2020 shooting
BATON ROUGE - Two people, including a minor, were formally charged Thursday with murder in a 2020 shooting that left a man dead.
Court documents show a grand jury indicted Johnny Brown, 15, and Dereck Hayes, 26, with second-degree murder in the death of 54-year-old Brian Dawson. Dawson was shot and killed during a robbery on Aster Street in November 2020.
The two have spent the past several months in jail following their arrests, which came shortly after the killing.
