A Minden man is in custody for harboring an alleged attempted murder suspect at his residence.

Gene Kemp of the 700 block of Murdoch Street was arrested Monday by Minden Police for one count of accessory after the fact.

Minden Police learned Kemp was harboring 28-year-old Jaryon Stephens, who is wanted for shooting Ronnie Hemphill February 1, as well as another subject.

Det. Sgt. Shane Griffith said Minden Narcotics Officers missed Stephens by only a few minutes but arrested Kemp.

“We believe he was tipped off we were coming,” Griffith said of Stephens. “Anyone found to be harboring this fugitive will be charged accordingly. This is a very serious crime and you will be charged to the fullest extent possible.”

Kemp is at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. His bond is set at $50,000.
