Three individuals, including two juveniles, are in custody and the hunt is on for a fourth man for the shooting of a Minden man during an armed robbery Sunday.

Chief of Police Jared McIver said 19-year-old Ral’Terrian Reeder of Minden was arrested Monday following interviews by detectives at police headquarters. He was charged on a warrant for armed robbery and is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center under a $50,000 bond.

Both juveniles reportedly have been transported to Ware Youth Center in Coushatta. 

A fourth suspect is currently being sought by the U.S. Marshal’s Service, McIver said.

Police responded around 8 p.m. Sunday to reports of a man being shot at a residence on Webster St. and found the victim suffering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg. He reportedly is in stable condition at a Shreveport hospital.

Investigators determined the suspects went to the residence to steal firearms. The robbery attempt apparently began inside the residence, then went outside where shots were fired.

This information has been provided by a law enforcement agency as public information. Persons named as suspects in a criminal investigation, or arrested and charged with a crime, have not been convicted of any criminal offense and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
