A 16-year-old boy was arrested and booked with second-degree murder in connection with a LaPlace shooting that left a man dead early Monday morning (May 27).
Pedestrian killed on Airline Drive in Metairie; driver arrested
The St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office has not identified the teen, who was being held at the Sherman Walker Correctional Center in LaPlace on Tuesday.
The teen is accused in the death of Malcolm Johnson, 27, of LaPlace.
The Sheriff’s Office received a report of gunfire about 12:30 a.m. Monday in the 2500 block of Williamsburg Drive in LaPlace.
When deputies arrived, they determined that someone had fired a gun during an altercation involving several people at the corner of Williamsburg and Plymouth Street, authorities said.
A short time later, deputies were dispatched to the Ochsner Medical Complex, 1900 W. Airline Highway, LaPlace, where a man, later identified as Johnson, suffering a gunshot was in a vehicle that had just crashed into a nearby telephone pole, authorities said.
Johnson, a passenger in the vehicle, later died of his injuries.
Authorities said St. John detectives tied the 16-year-old boy to Johnson’s death, though they have not released details on a motive for the killing. Investigators obtained a warrant for the arrest of the teen, who surrendered to the Sheriff’s Office on Monday.
No bond information was available Tuesday.
