A third person has been arrested, and a fourth is being sought by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office in a murder investigation in the Village of Tangipahoa.
Irvin Foster, 20, has been booked on one count each of second-degree murder and illegal use of weapons.
Cyntrell Bean, 21, is wanted on one count of principal to second-degree murder.
According to the sheriff’s office, just after midnight on Tuesday, Nov. 3, deputies responded to the 12000 block of Silo Road in the Village of Tangipahoa after a shooting was reported.
Deputies assisting the Village of Tangipahoa Police Department found spent shell casings in the road and an unresponsive man with a gunshot wound lying next to a shed.
The man, identified as David Lee Burton, 37, later died from his injuries.
TPSO took the lead in the investigation and arrested a 15-year-old boy on multiple charges, including second-degree murder.
Jacollis Burton, 22, was also arrested and is facing charges of principal to second-degree murder.
According to the sheriff’s office, the motive behind the shooting initially appeared to be drug-related. Detectives then learned of an incident stemming from a relationship dispute prior to the shooting.
The sheriff’s office said Bean and Foster both had roles in the shooting.
Foster was taken into custody on Tuesday, Nov. 10, by the Amite Police Department.
Bean is still being sought.
