The newspaper reports that, at the Press Club of Baton Rouge meeting Monday afternoon, Chief T.J. Morse confirmed that Markel Lee, 17, was a “lone shooter.”
“As of right now, we cannot put a gun in anyone else’s hand other than the person that we have already arrested. To the best of our knowledge, he was the lone shooter, and he’s the one that’s going to be facing the consequences for that shooting.”
Lee was arrested on April 24 and booked into the East Baton Rouge Prison for first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon. He is being held without bond and will have a bond review on Aug. 20.
