BATON ROUGE — Authorities arrested a 31-year-old woman accused of driving her teenage boyfriend across state lines to hide him from police after he shot her in the face.

According to a BRPD arrest warrant, Charlitria Thomas got into an argument with her 15-year-old boyfriend in December 2025.

During the argument, the teen pulled out two guns and shot Thomas in the jaw with one of them. BRPD added that Thomas was taken to a hospital and intubated due to the severity of her injuries.

Police questioned Thomas once she was in stable condition, but she allegedly told officers she had not seen or heard from him. After she got out of the hospital, however, witnesses reported seeing Thomas driving the teenager around in a Hyundai Elantra, police noted.

On Dec. 31, a Mississippi Highway Patrol trooper stopped the car and found the two inside. The teen was arrested on outstanding charges of attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, armed robbery and two counts of juvenile in possession of a firearm, as well as additional Mississippi charges.

Thomas was arrested Thursday on attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon charges, as well as an accessory after the fact to both illegal possession of a firearm by a juvenile and armed robbery. 

According to jail filings, Thomas may have other charges levied against her from the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office.
