BATON ROUGE — A couple arrested in Houston as fugitives was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Friday after the boyfriend allegedly shot a Baton Rouge restaurant owner over an order dispute in February.

According to arrest warrants, on Feb. 2, 18-year-old Daylin Woods and 21-year-old Savannah Spears returned to LJK Roun2 Cafe to dispute an incorrect order. While arguing, Woods allegedly put a gun on the counter, prompting the owner to move all of the staff into a walk-in freezer while waiting for authorities to arrive.
