On August 2, authorities from the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office were alerted to an incident of homicide that unfolded in the quiet community of Heflin. At approximately 12:30 AM, law enforcement received notification of a shooting, prompting an immediate response to the scene in the 6000 block of LA Hwy 531.
Initial investigations by the authorities revealed that the incident arose from a domestic situation which had escalated, ultimately leading to the untimely death of 45-year-old Tyronne Winzer.
During the course of the inquiry, two witnesses came forward, providing information that implicated a suspect in the crime. The witnesses identified the alleged shooter as Chandricka Shehee, 23. Law enforcement apprehended Shehee for her suspected involvement in the homicide, and transported her to the sheriff’s department for questioning.
After Shehee was informed of her rights and affirmed her understanding of those rights, she proceeded to provide a confession to the officers. This statement corroborated the witness accounts.
Chandricka Shehee was remanded into custody and transferred to the Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. She was subsequently charged with second-degree murder, pending further legal proceedings and court appearances.
The Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone with further information relevant to the investigation to come forward.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
