Three teenagers have been arrested for the murder of 20-year-old Adrian Carradine of Bossier City, including a high school basketball star.

On Monday, police arrested two teens, 18-year-old Raymond Henry of Bossier City and a 15-year-old female who was the driver. Landry says 19-year-old Otis Smith, a senior on the Bossier High basketball team, was arrested yesterday.
