Another suspect has been arrested in connection with the Saturday, Jan. 11 shootings at a bonfire party in Dubberly, Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said today (Friday).

Parker said 20-year-old Jaiveon Daijariell Harris, a resident of the 300 block of W. Todd St. in Minden, was placed in custody Friday morning following interviews with detectives at the Sheriff’s Office.

“Under questioning, he admitted he was in possession of a firearm at the party,” Parker said.

Harris is charged with principal to five counts of attempted first degree murder and has been booked into Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center, the Sheriff said. Bond has been set at $350,000.

His arrest brings the total of suspects now in custody to four. All the suspects are Webster Parish residents in their 20s.

Others charged in the shootings which left six persons wounded are 21-year-old Kobe Sheppard (six counts attempted first degree murder), Zyan Adominick-Jaire Stanley, 23, (six counts attempted first degree murder) and Jacolby Tyrone Snell, 22,  (accessory after the fact, two counts modifying a pistol into a machine gun).

“We will continue gathering information until we’re satisfied we have everyone in custody who had a part in this incident,” Parker said. “Our detectives and deputies have done a great job so far and we’re not finished.”
