An early-morning home invasion on Grammont Street in Monroe, Louisiana, ended in a triple homicide that included a toddler. On October 28, 2025, at about 2:56 a.m., officers found the back door kicked in and the bodies of 25-year-old Jaborris Simpson, his lifelong friend Jamal Bosley, and Simpson’s two-year-old daughter Jhersi Simpson. All three had been shot, the apartment was ransacked, and a PlayStation was missing.

Simpson, a Richwood High School graduate described as well mannered and devoted to his family, had been at the residence with Bosley and his daughter following an altercation near Richwood High School on October 24. Within a day, police arrested 24-year-old Travis Tyrone Payton, charging him with three counts of first-degree murder, home invasion, and criminal conspiracy; authorities said the motive was likely retribution for the earlier fight. A second suspect, 24-year-old Cameron Criner, was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The families held a joint funeral at the Monroe Civic Center, and the case was being presented to a grand jury.

If anyone knew Jaborris, Jamal, or little Jhersi, or has information about the events of October 24 or the home invasion on October 28, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
