Ronald A. Brown (58), formerly of Pearl River,
pleaded guilty Monday (February 13) to attempted first degree murder and
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon for shooting his girlfriend in
2015. District Judge Raymond S. Childress sentenced Brown to 25 years in prison
for the attempted murder and 10 years on the firearm charge, with both sentences
to be served at the same time.
On April 27, 2015 the victim arrived home and
found Brown hiding inside her kitchen. The two struggled, the victim got to her
vehicle, and Brown shot her in the head as she tried to get away. The victim
drove herself to the Louisiana Heart Hospital in Lacombe. The St. Tammany Parish
Sheriff’s Office arrested Brown shortly afterward.
Five years earlier, Brown
had pleaded guilty to attempted second degree kidnapping for holding a knife to
a different victim’s neck and preventing her from leaving for three hours. In
that case, he was given a five-year sentence with all but 18 months of it
suspended, and five years of probation.
