A neighborhood dispute in Arcadia, Louisiana, ended in fatal violence on July 28, 2021. Nineteen-year-old Damarion Richardson was shot and killed in the parking lot of Fastpak Foods on Second Street during what law enforcement described as an ongoing dispute with another Arcadia resident. Investigators identified 24-year-old Shamichael Murphy as the alleged shooter; Murphy was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder.

At the time of the shooting Richardson was with brothers Jamarcus and David Abbott. Jamarcus Abbott was later arrested and charged with simple battery and obstruction of justice, and David Abbott was sought for questioning. Hours after Richardson’s death, a retaliatory drive-by in nearby Minden struck a home on Plum Street, killing three-year-old Aldravion Taylor. Authorities linked that shooting to Richardson’s killing and arrested Richardson’s 19-year-old cousin, Jacorein Richardson, who was charged with first-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to these shootings or the people involved?
