Two Lake Charles men have been arrested following a murder in Iowa early Saturday morning.
Jasmen Jonathan Ledet, 25, 4249 Fifth Ave. Apt. U22, was arrested on one count of second-degree murder and Darnell Joseph Ledet, 27, 2141 10th St., was arrested as an accessory after the fact.
Iowa Police Chief Keith Vincent said that authorities are not yet releasing the name of the victim nor a motive because the investigation is ongoing.
Both Iowa police and Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a disturbance call in the area of South Welty St. and East Third St. at 2:29 a.m. Saturday, Vincent said. Informed while en route that gunshots had been fired, officers saw a car leaving the home when they arrived. A brief vehicle pursuit ensued and the Ledets were arrested on Interstate 10.
The Ledets are being held at Calcasieu Correctional Center.
