BATON ROUGE — A woman found guilty of playing a part in the 2022 shooting death of a teenage girl has a new warrant out for her arrest after she failed to appear for a court-ordered review.
In November 2025, Queriana Richard was found guilty of accessory after the fact charges connected to the shooting death of 17-year-old Alashia Collins in April 2022.
Richard was sentenced to supervised probation for one year, as well as being ordered to complete 100 hours of court-approved community service. According to court records, she was ordered to appear in court for a review of her sentence on Monday.
She did not appear in court on Monday and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
