NEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana Supreme Court on Wednesday said it has agreed to hear arguments relating to the conviction of a Baker man who allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend in 2021.

Randy Flot is accused of killing 21-year-old Taurus Matthews Jr. on Dec. 29, 2021, in a home on Groom Road. He currently faces life in prison after being convicted in 2023 of second-degree murder.

His conviction was previously upheld by the First Circuit Court of Appeal before attorneys requested the state Supreme Court consider the case.

The matter has been set for oral argument on Dec. 14.
