BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - The man investigators say is responsible for the tragic ending of a birthday celebration has been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison to face murder charges in the death of a 16-year-old boy.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office identified the victim as Darius Plummer, 16, of Baton Rouge. Louisiana State Police identified the suspect as Octavio Bringas, 49. He is charged with second-degree murder.
"I can't believe it; I can't believe it," said Derrick Ambrose, the victim's cousin. "I'm trying to grasp it right now."
Ambrose added that Plummer left his home Monday morning to go to a friend's house. Investigators reported Plummer lived on North Harrells Ferry Road near South Sherwood Forrest Boulevard and I-12.
"His friend picked him up to go over there to celebrate and next thing you know, he's on the floor," Ambrose said.
Deputies said the shooting happened at Bringas' apartment complex on Southpark Drive near Airline Highway Service Road on Monday just before 1 p.m. They said Plummer was found shot in the head and was rushed to the hospital, where he died.
"Our detectives began working very quickly to interview those that were here at the apartment complex and they developed the suspect," said Casey Rayborn Hicks, spokeswoman for EBRSO.
He said that he was "not coming back and would not talk to police," Bringas allegedly told a relative.

We need to stop letting the leftists dictate the terms we use.
There is no such thing as an 'illegal immigrant', nor is there any such thing as an 'undocumented immigrant' or 'undocumented person'. These are contradictions in terms.
An immigrant is someone who's gone through the legal process to become either a resident alien or a naturalized citizen.
Someone who is here in the U.S. without going through the immigration process is an illegal alien and should be called as such.
“Undocumented person”. The Black community ought to rise-up and protest these media outlets who do not correctly report who is killing them.
Undocumented person is Lib-speak for illegal alien criminal.
