A 14-year-old boy is killed in a shooting in Terrebonne Parish. The shooting happened last Friday in a neighborhood in Chauvin, and the boy’s body was found in a wooded area. First Lieutenant Blake Tabor says the boy’s identity, which the sheriff’s office is not releasing, led to another discovery.
“Ultimately, that led to linking him to a series of vehicle burglaries that happened on the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning timeframe several days prior,” Tabor said.
Lieutenant Tabor says the 14-year-old was breaking into the vehicles with two other juveniles, one of whom admitted to shooting the boy to death.
“The second family member came forward with a report that the second male suspect actually had admitted to his family member that he was responsible for the death of the 14-year-old child,” Tabor said.
Tabor says while investigators believe that the vehicle burglaries and the deadly shooting are related to one another, the investigation is still ongoing, and that they’re not looking for anyone else.
“Our detectives feel very confident that they have the persons responsible for this in custody. Those two male suspects remain jailed here in Terrebonne Parish,” Tabor said.
The juveniles are each charged with second-degree murder.
