Ellen Breaux and her 17-year-old son Messiah were seen in handcuffs Wednesday when they were arrested for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. The charges reportedly stem from a carjacking that took place last month.
Ellen's 14-year-old son, O'Cyrus Breaux, died early Monday morning when he was shot in the stomach. The shooting and alleged robbery are unrelated.
While the pair were being walked to a patrol car, the mother denied involvement in the alleged robbery.
Investigators believe the mother and son are linked to more aggravated robberies and that she is the leader of a northside robbery crew.
In court, it was revealed the alleged robbery took place on June 23 at an apartment complex on Cypress Station Drive where a man was held up at gunpoint of cash and his sport-utility vehicle.
Prosecutors said there is probable cause for both mother and son for the crime. They also apparently confessed to their involvement.
Police are still looking for a third person who was alleged in the carjacking. Bond is set at $50,000 for both Ellen and Messiah Breaux.
There was nothing expressed about O'Cyrus during court.
