Detectives from the Caddo Sheriff's Office have apprehended an 18-year-old male for allegedly shooting two brothers. Sheriff Steve Prator reported that one brother was fatally injured while the other was sent for treatment in a hospital.

Jadaveun Dillard from Oil City, Louisiana was apprehended following a probe that identified him as the sole gunman responsible for the murder of C’Aundre Anderson and the injury of his brother, Cuviondrick Anderson.
