In the early morning hours of Saturday, May 16, 2026, a domestic dispute at a home on the 20000 block of Highway 1081 in Covington, Louisiana, ended in a fatal shooting. William Jenkins, 47, was found inside the shared residence with an apparent single gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office took possession of his body.

Two 911 calls were received shortly after 1 a.m., one from a woman who said her uncle had just shot her father and a second from the suspected shooter. Deputies encountered 50-year-old Frank Jenkins at the home; he admitted to shooting his younger brother and was taken into custody without incident. He was booked on one count of second-degree murder.

The investigation into the circumstances of the altercation is ongoing and no trial or sentencing information has been released. Does anyone have information about the Jenkins family or the events that led to this shooting?
