Man indicted in killing ex-girlfriend

A 27-year-old Baton Rouge man was indicted Thursday in the Sept. 4 stabbing death of his former girlfriend at an assisted living facility where she worked.

An East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury charged Fredrick Jermaine Taylor with second-degree murder in the killing of 27-year-old Allison Vallien in the cafeteria at The Haven at Windermere.

Vallien was preparing to serve lunch to residents at the facility when Taylor allegedly made his way into the building at 8225 YMCA Plaza and stabbed her.

Taylor, 1444 Jim Taylor Drive, Apt. 5, was arrested at the scene.

An East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff’s detective patrolling the area near the facility saw Taylor — covered in blood — holding a knife and exiting the side door of the facility, sheriff’s officials have said.

East Baton Rouge Parish court records show Taylor allegedly punched Vallien in the face and threatened to kill her on Feb. 10, 2007, at the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino.

The fight occurred when Vallien told Taylor it was time to leave the boat, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Vallien obtained a restraining order against Taylor in October 2007, court records indicate. The order expired in 2008.

Taylor’s case has been assigned to state District Judge Bonnie Jackson.

If convicted as charged, Taylor would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
