On the morning of Friday, August 2, 2024, deputies on Maddry Road in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, found 42-year-old Bradley Joseph Swint of Arcadia shot and pronounced dead at the scene. The Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office led the investigation, which expanded into a multi-agency effort involving Webster, Madison, Ouachita and other sheriff’s offices.

Investigators say Swint was deliberately lured to the remote location and ambushed. A woman, 31-year-old Marrisa Cheyenne Pauley of Minden, was arrested at a Dubberly residence and booked as a fugitive from Claiborne Parish. Warrants for second-degree murder were issued for two West Monroe men, 23-year-old Michael Tendle Wright and 50-year-old Kris Scott Tomlinson. Wright was arrested in the Deville Community on August 6, 2024, and Tomlinson surrendered to Claiborne Parish authorities on August 7, 2024.

All three were in custody and charged with second-degree murder as the inquiry continued. If anyone has information about Bradley Swint, his movements before August 2, or the Maddry Road area, please come forward.
