NATCHITOCHES PARISH, La. (KALB) - A Natchitoches Parish grand jury has returned indictments for second degree murder against two suspects in connection with a homicide on Keyser Avenue, according to Attorney Billy Joe Harrington.
Shadarious White, 20, and Jermaurion Simmons, 19, were arrested back in July for second degree murder, attempted second degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property and illegal use of weapons.
According to the Natchitoches Police Department, Latravion Stallworth, 18, of Natchitoches, was killed and five others were injured in a shooting in the 300 block of Keyser Avenue on July 6.
Investigators say the suspects are accused of jointly participating in Stallworth’s fatal shooting. Both are indicted for one count each of second degree murder.
An indictment means a grand jury has formally charged the suspect and there is sufficient evidence to move forward with the prosecution.
A third suspect, Demarkcus Nicholas, 19, of Natchitoches, was also arrested for obstruction of justice in the shooting.
