MONROE, La. (KTVE/KARD) — On May 17, 2023, the Monroe Police Department arrested a 16-year-old male juvenile responsible for firing shots at a Walmart in Monroe. The juvenile was arrested on charges of Attempted Second Degree Murder, Illegal use of a Weapon, and Possession of a Handgun by a Juvenile.
On May 15, 2023, an investigation done by the Monroe Police Department led to the arrest of three individuals for weapons charges. The three suspects, Chardarrius Jones, Jakevyoun McWilliams, and Markel Norris were all arrested for Illegal Carrying of a Weapon.
