All six suspects in a shooting at a McDonald's in Slidell a week ago Friday are now in custody.

Eric Watson Jr. surrendered to Slidell police on Monday.

Investigators say the shooting at the restaurant on Voters Road resulted from a botched drug deal. A 17-year-old was treated and released for a bullet graze wound to his head.

Three suspects were arrested in the days after the shooting, and two more arrests were announced last Friday.

All of the suspects are charged with attempted first-degree murder and weapons charges.
