Four suspects from Jefferson Parish are in custody and accused of murdering a man in LaPlace earlier this month.
The St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office says the four teenage suspects are charged with second-degree murder and armed robbery.
They reportedly shot and killed Jackie Dempsey Jr., who was found dead in a parked car two weeks ago. Investigators say the victim was targeted, but nobody is sure why the crime was committed in St. John Parish.
The last of the four suspects was arrested on Wednesday.
