Police identified Deshawn Roberts, of Osyka, Mississippi, as the victim.
Demarcus Blount, of McComb, Mississippi, was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail for second-degree murder and illegal use of a deadly weapon after initially attempting to flee the scene in the aftermath of the incident. Police say Blount surrendered when an officer caught up with his vehicle northbound on US 51.
The shooting occurred just before 11 p.m. on Wednesday (Dec. 25) outside of the 4 Way Quick Stop on US 51 and Avenue E, according to police. Investigators say an argument began inside the store and continued into the parking lot. Both individuals brandished firearms and investigators say surveillance footage suggests Blount was the only one of the two that fired shots.
