The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested Carlones Lee Coleman, Jr. of Kentwood in connection with a double shooting at a bar located between Kentwood and Osyka, MS. Coleman was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on March 11, 2025 for Attempted Second Degree Murder and Illegal Discharge of a Weapon.
Around 1:30 a.m. on February 1, 2025, TPSO received a report of a shooting outside of a bar located in the 78000 block of Highway 51 that resulted in two individuals, a 26-year-old man and a 29-year-old man, being shot. Both men were hospitalized, but both have since been released.
TPSO Criminal Investigations detectives learned Coleman was already at the bar when the two other men arrived and gathered with a group outside of the business. For unknown reasons, Coleman approached the group and started a dispute. When one of the victims attempted to deescalate the situation, Coleman pulled out a gun and shot him as well as the man he arrived with. The first victim drove to a nearby neighborhood for safety, where good samaritans called 911 and provided medical assistance while waiting for first responders. The second victim called 911 from the parking lot.
TPSO detectives issued a warrant for Coleman and had been searching for him when they were alerted on March 11, 2025 that Coleman was in Hammond trying to buy a gun. After he was declined for the sale based on the warrant, he was pulled over by Hammond Police on West Thomas Street. A gun was found in his vehicle and he was taken into custody.
The TPSO wants to extend its appreciation to Hammond Police for its assistance closing this case.
