LC man charged in death of woman found on apartment floor
A Lake Charles man has been arrested after a woman was found dead in an apartment on Michael Debakey Drive Thursday night
Deputy Chief Kevin Kirkum said officers were called to the apartment at about 5:35 p.m. Thursday and found Sherron Delafose, who was non- responsive, lying on the floor in an apartment.
Kirkum said it was determined Delafose was a homicide victim.
He said Jesse Lee First — who knew the victim — was arrested two hours and charged with second-degree murder. His bond has been set at $ $1 million.
This is an ongoing investigation, Kirkum said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake Charles Police Department by calling 337-491-1311. Sgt. Dustin Fontenot is the lead investigator.
