DeJuan Rashaud Ledet, 19, was found shot and killed inside a vacant house in the 3900 block of Duhon Lane in Alexandria, Louisiana, on September 20, 2017. Ledet had moved to Pineville from Opelousas less than a year earlier. The investigation led to arrests of multiple people, including adults and minors.

Among those charged was 20-year-old Donerious Dewayne Roy, who faced first-degree murder and armed robbery with a firearm charges and later expressed frustration with the pace of his case and his representation. A 16-year-old, Demontrial Leandrey Alexander, was tried as an adult; the murder charge against him was dropped and he pleaded guilty to armed robbery, receiving 20 years at hard labor with no parole, probation, or suspension of sentence. Marcel Jones, 21, pleaded guilty to armed robbery and was sentenced to 15 years at hard labor; 19-year-old Brian Saunders Booker-Allen pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and received 12 years at hard labor. Charges were also filed against a 14-year-old, though those specific allegations were not detailed, and charges against Mary Alexander for being an accessory after the fact were dismissed.
