News Release June 17, 2009 **Update** Arrests Made in Tallulah Murder
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of a sixteen year old Tallulah teen.
On June 16, 2009 at about 10:00 pm, the Killeen Police department arrested Mario Oliver (27 years old from Tallulah), Shawn Allen (24 years old from Tallulah), and Brandon Holmes (27 years old from Tallulah). All three suspects have Second Degree Murder warrants issued out of the Sixth Judicial District in Madison Parish.
During the course of the investigation, Louisiana State Police investigators developed information, which lead them to believe the suspects had fled to Texas. The three suspects were arrested by the Killeen Police Department without incident and are awaiting extradition back to Louisiana.
I have no additional information regarding the case and any questions should be directed to the Sixth Judicial District Attorney's Office.
