On the evening of Wednesday, June 9, 2021, 19-year-old Jason Jamal Patin was shot on the 1800 block of Louanna Street in Mamou, Louisiana. The gunshot wound to his left shoulder proved fatal and he died from the injury. The Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation into the death.

Within a day, investigators identified a 15-year-old male from the Mamou area as a suspect; he surrendered the following evening and was charged with second-degree murder and to be tried as an adult. Further inquiry produced two more arrests: Darius Tezeno of Mamou was charged with accessory after the fact to second-degree murder, and a second 15-year-old male was charged as a principal to second-degree murder; that juvenile was already in custody in Monroe on unrelated charges at the time of this arrest.

Who in Mamou might have information about Jason Patin or the circumstances on Louanna Street that night?
