Another suspect has been arrested for his alleged part in the Saturday, Jan. 11 shooting which wounded six persons at a bonfire party in a rural area near Dubberly.

Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said 21-year-old Kobe Sheppard of Sibley was taken into custody without incident Wednesday by Sheriff’s Office detectives at his residence in the 300 block of Willis Rd.

Parker said investigators also enforced a search warrant at a Koby Lane residence in Sibley and recovered a firearm believed to have been used in the shootings. During an interview following his arrest, Sheppard admitted to shooting a firearm at the party, the Sheriff said.

Sheppard was booked into Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center and charged with six counts of attempted first degree murder. His bond has been set at $900,000.

Sheppard is the third person arrested in connection with the shootings. Zyan Adominick-Jaire Stanley of Minden has also been charged with six counts of attempted first degree murder and Doyline resident Jacolby Tyrone Snell is charged with accessory after the fact and two counts of modifying a pistol into a machine gun.

“During the course of the investigation so far, our detectives have conducted numerous interviews, enforced several warrants and we’re not finished,” Parker said. “We are still investigating information we’ve developed.”
