Bobby Paul Andras was 14 when his body was found in October 2024 in a wooded area of the Smith Ridge neighborhood in Chauvin, Louisiana. A resident discovered the body, and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation that quickly linked the death to recent local vehicle burglaries.

Authorities say two juveniles were taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. Investigators allege one of the suspects admitted to the shooting and that the motive was to silence Andras and keep him from speaking to police about those alleged burglaries. Bobby’s older brother described him as a good kid with no criminal history and said there was no justifiable reason for his death.

The case remains under active prosecution. If anyone knew Bobby or has information about those nights in Smith Ridge, please share what can help the investigation.
