BATON ROUGE — East Baton Rouge Parish deputies have arrested a woman accused of shooting a car with two people inside.

According to deputies, they were called to investigate a shooting along Fontainebleau Drive on Aug. 10. Deputies learned that a man went to Fontainebleau to pick up another person. The person being picked up, deputies note, was involved in a previous physical altercation with 44-year-old Stephanie Sharp.

When the pair were leaving, Sharp arrived with a gun and began pointing it at them, shooting three times. Two of these shots struck the car, deputies note. 

While the person previously involved in a fight with Sharp denied knowing about the shooting, deputies later found spent cartridges at the address where the shooting allegedly happened.

Deputies then took Sharp into custody and she admitted to firing at the two victims to scare the driver. Sharp, after the shooting, gave the gun to another person and told them to hide it. 

Sharp was convicted of drug offenses in 2017, barring her from possessing a gun. 

Early Wednesday morning, Sharp was booked on two counts of attempted first-degree murder, as well as one count each of obstruction of justice, aggravated criminal damage to property and possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a felony.
