BATON ROUGE - A man is charged with first-degree murder after the victim of a robbery died of a supposed heart attack, according to Baton Rouge Police Department Cpl. L'Jean McKneely.

Brian Wright, 26, was arrested after crashing his vehicle a few blocks away from the scene of the robbery. McKneely says Wright and two other accomplices robbed 53-year-old Terrance Booker near the 1700 block of North Sherwood Forest Dr.

The two accomplices fled on foot and are still at large, according to McKneely.

Wright was booked into parish prison where he received an additional charge of damage to property after flooding the entire holding cell area by damaging the toilet.
