By james art BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPRUD) — A Baton Rouge man has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty in connection with a July 2021 shooting that left one person dead.
Charles Wade, 28, of Baton Rouge, was sentenced to five years for manslaughter, 10 years for aggravated assault with a firearm and three years for domestic violence child endangerment, according to East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore.
The 10-year sentence on the aggravated assault with a firearm charge will be suspended after Wade is released from prison because it is his first conviction, according to Moore.
