41-year-old Scott Cooper of Carencro and 41-year-old Robert Allen Moreno of Houston have been indicted by a grand jury in the May 16 shooting of Garrison Gautreaux.
Gautreaux was a student at Notre Dame High School.

The 17-year-old was found dead in his vehicle parked in the 100 block of North Polk Street. Details on the incident or a motive have not been released.

Both Cooper and Moreno have been indicted on a second-degree murder charge. They are being held in the parish prison on $5 million bonds.
