Jaicedric Williams
The suspected gunman in an early Friday morning shooting at a fraternity party just off the campus of Southern University has been arrested. Baton Rouge Police spokesperson Sgt L ’Jean McKneely said Sunday afternoon 22-year-old Jaicedric Williams was arrested without incident at his home.
“After interviewing him, we arrested him and charged him with 11 counts of Attempted First Degree Murder and Illegal Use of a Weapon, we also know that he has some type of criminal history,” said McKneely.
28-year-old Daryl Stansberry and 24-year-old Miles Moss were arrested on Friday and charged with 11 counts of Accessory After the Fact to Attempted First Degree Murder and Illegal Use of a Weapon. McKneely said the two were with Williams at the party and left with him after the shooting.
McKneely said there was some type of altercation that happened just before gunfire erupted.
“And as that altercation was taking place, we believe Mr. Williams pulled out a handgun and started shooting recklessly into the crowd,” said McKneely.
The investigation is ongoing and McKneely said they are still asking for the public’s assistance and for anyone who witnessed the shootings or has videos and photos from the scene to contact Baton Rouge PD or Crimestoppers.
“We’ve done a multitude of interviews with a lot of people that were there, interviewed the victims and we feel that we got the right people,” said McKneely.
All three suspects have been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. District Attorney Hillar Moore is requesting Williams be held without bond.
