TANGIPAHOA — Authorities have arrested a teenager and a 22-year-old man following an overnight shooting that left a 37-year-old man dead in the Village of Tangipahoa, according to law enforcement officials.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office led the investigation on behalf of the Village of Tangipahoa Police Department and responded to reports of gunfire just after midnight on Tuesday in the 12000 block of Silo Road.

Deputies found shell casings scattered across the roadway and located an unresponsive 37-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound next to an exterior shed. The man succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene. His identity has not yet been released and is pending an autopsy by the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office.

Investigators determined the shooting stemmed from a drug transaction dispute occurring down the street between 22-year-old Jacollis Burton and a 15-year-old suspect. Following the altercation, Burton ran to the victim's residence. The victim, identified as a relative of Burton, confronted the teen, leading to an exchange of gunfire in which the victim was fatally struck.

Both suspects were taken into custody. The 15-year-old male was booked into the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center on charges of second-degree murder, illegal use of weapons, obstruction of justice and solicitation of membership in a criminal street gang.

Jacollis Burton was booked on charges of principal to second-degree murder, obstruction of justice and solicitation of membership in a criminal street gang.

The homicide investigation remains active. Authorities urge anyone with relevant information to contact the TPSO Criminal Investigations Division at 985-902-2088.
