WINN PARISH, La. (KALB) - Two people have been arrested in connection with the April 6 murder of a Winn Parish man, according to the Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office.
WPSO said Randell Kelley, 55, was found deceased in his home in the Brewton Mill community late Wednesday evening. Family members discovered his body after being alerted by Kelley’s employer that he had not reported to work.
Winn Parish Sheriff Josh McAllister reported that Christian Scott Douglas Campbell, 22, and Amaney Paige LaBouve, 19, both of Welch, were arrested on April 11 by St. Mary Parish authorities. WPSO said they were found in possession of a stolen vehicle belonging to the victim and are currently being held in St. Mary Parish under a $1 million bond each.
Sheriff McAllister, accompanied by a team of his investigators, traveled to Morgan City to interview the suspects. Warrants are being prepared, and Campbell and LaBouve will be transported to Winn Parish to face formal charges in connection with the homicide.
Sheriff McAllister praised the inter-agency collaboration that led to the arrests.
“The cooperation and assistance we received from the Morgan City Police Department and the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office cannot be understated,” said McAllister. “They went above and beyond in helping our agency bring a resolution to this brutal, senseless crime in a very timely manner.”
