LSU Police Department investigators arrested a second student in connection with the attempted first-degree murder charges against University student Nicole Boover.
Nathan Andrew Yuhas, 18, of 2065 Harts Lane in Conshohocken, Pa., was arrested around 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 8, following LSUPD questioning that led the New Orleans Police Department to issue an arrest warrant.
Yuhas, an environmental engineering student, was charged with principal to attempted first degree murder, but LSUPD Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said no further information could be given at this time regarding the reason for the charge.
Yuhas was with Boover on Oct. 8 when she arrived at her mother’s New Orleans residence around 4:30 a.m. Her mother opened the door to Boover pointing a gun at her, and after her mother closed and locked the door, Boover fired three shots.
Boover’s stepfather tipped off LSUPD that she was returning to campus a couple hours later, and she was arrested after police found her in her room at Evangeline Hall.
Court reports obtained by Nola.com say Boover attempted to kill her mother for inheritance money. Yuhas said during police interviews that Boover offered him $50,000 to help her.
The two bought gloves, duct tape and masks, planning to flee the state after murdering Boover’s mother and stepfather.
