BATON ROUGE – Police say the teen accused of being connected to a supposed plot to kill police officer with a stolen pistol last summer has been arrested on murder charges linking him to the November killing that took place on Nebraska Street.

Trashone Coats, 17, was arrested Tuesday on a second-degree murder charge in the death of 18-year-old Keondrae Ricks, Nba youngboy’s cousin, who was killed last year and that led to retaliation shooting which uprising rap star NBA Youngboy is locked up for right now.

Ricks was found dead in the 2000 block of Nebraska Street just after midnight on Nov. 2.

Coats was arrested back in July on allegations that he had possessed guns that were stolen from a pawn shop. A burglary at Cash America Pawn on Government Street, where eight guns were stolen leading to the arrest of three adults and a 13-year-old boy.

While charges are still pending, the motive behind the shooting is unknown.
