Three men have been arrested in connection with last week’s shooting death of Shreveport Police Officer Chateri Payne. Payne’s boyfriend and father of her young child, 26-year-old Treveon Anderson, claims he was home when he heard gunshots and ran outside to shoot at a suspect. But Police Chief Ben Raymond said evidence later debunked that story.
“We believe Anderson shot and killed her and concocted the false narrative of her being murdered by an unknown suspect,” said Raymond.
Raymond said two other men arrested, 22-year-old Lawrence Pierre and 38-year-old Glenn Frierson, are considered accomplices. He adds more arrests are possible
“A young mother, a young daughter, a young officer, in the prime of her life, was killed in a senseless act of violence, which is far too common in today’s society,” said Raymond.
Raymond said the three arrested are currently facing second degree murder charges and credited the work of all agencies involved in the captures.
“We are still mourning the heinous murder of Officer Payne, but thanks to these men and women, we can have some peace in taking three evil cowards off of our streets so they cannot harm anyone else,” said Raymond.
