BATON ROUGE — Baton Rouge Police have arrested a man accused of shooting at three women along Swan Avenue in November.

Kunta Kinte Taylor, 29, allegedly shot at the group of women after they drove to meet him at a Swan Avenue apartment to collect money owed to her and to buy marijuana.

According to an affidavit, the group saw a woman who was dating an associate of Taylor's. When they arrived, they told the woman they were there to see Taylor. About 15 minutes later, someone approached the car with a gun and pointed it at the women.

Taylor then walked around a nearby car with an AR-style rifle and began shooting at the women's car, the affidavit added. Another person also started shooting, but they remained unnamed in Taylor's affidavit.

Police say that the women then drove away after the shooting started, with one of the women saying a bullet came inches from hitting her in the head, instead striking the inner metal of the door frame between the front and rear window. The same woman said that Taylor, who had known the woman for four years, fired multiple more shots at her.
