Oconto Falls, WI asked in Traffic Tickets for Louisiana

Q: Can we be held accountable for a camera red light violation eight years later?

My husband and I (a year or two before we were married) lived in Baton Rouge we now live in Wisconsin, where I’m from. A few months ago we received a ticket from Baton Rouge for my husband running a red light, caught on the red light camera, from 2011. Why are we just getting this now, 8 years later, and do we reasonably have to pay? We have not had this vehicle for about three years. We just got a second notice, which added $35 for a late fee. Can we ignore this?
