LaDarius Devon Keller was 20 when he was fatally shot on October 5, 2020, while sitting in a parked truck on Cook Street in Morrow, Louisiana. Michael Thomas was killed in the same attack; three others — Emrick Simon, Ladarious Leblanc, and Vondrick Jimmerson — survived after being wounded when a man approached the vehicle and opened fire.

The St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office designated the case a double homicide and an attempted murder investigation. Authorities arrested 48-year-old Sanplice Simien in connection with the shootings. A St. Landry Parish jury later convicted Simien of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Keller and Thomas and three counts of attempted first-degree murder for the injured passengers.

Sentencing was set for May 8, 2025. Does anyone from Morrow or the surrounding area have information about the events that night or knew any of the victims?
