Two men have been arrested in connection with the shooting that occurred at a bonfire party in Dubberly, leaving six people injured, including two in critical condition.
Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker identified the suspects as Jacolby Tyrone Snell, 22, of Doyline, and Zyan Adominick-Jaire Stanley, 23, of Minden.
Deputies responded to the incident just before midnight on Saturday, January 11, at an unpermitted bonfire event held on private property along Hwy 531. Hundreds of attendees were reportedly still partying when law enforcement arrived on the scene.
According to authorities, Stanley surrendered at the Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by his attorney. Snell was apprehended Monday evening after detectives conducted interviews related to the case.
Stanley has been charged with six counts of attempted first-degree murder, and his bond is set at $900,000. Snell faces charges of accessory after the fact and two counts of modifying a firearm to a machine gun, with a bond totaling $120,000. Both suspects are currently being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center
“Our detectives had reasonable suspicion of Snell’s involvement after the crime,” Parker explained. “We retrieved data that showed he had knowledge of the crime and helped hide the firearm used in the shootings.”
During a search of Snell’s residence on Hanson Drive in Doyline, investigators reportedly found two firearms modified with Glock switches, which convert pistols into fully automatic weapons.
Parker praised the efforts of his team. “Our detectives and all our deputies put in a lot of hours and conducted many interviews to bring these suspects into custody,” he said. “Even though we have these two, we will continue to investigate the incident.”
The two individuals critically wounded in the shooting are reportedly improving, with their injuries no longer considered life-threatening.
“We hope for their full recovery,” Parker said.
The investigation remains ongoing.
All subjects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
