TPSO Hunts Down Suspects in Drive-by Shooting

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested four people in connection with a shots fired incident that occurred last month in Robert. Just after 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, more than 20 shots were fired from a silver 4-door sedan in the Gemstone Place subdivision off Highway 445. While no one was injured, an occupied home and vehicle were each hit.

• Clydarious McGee, 19 of Hammond, has been booked on 1 count each of Aggravated Assault Drive-By Shooting, Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property, and Illegal Discharge of a Firearm.

• Donovan Perkins, 18 of Hammond, has been booked on 1 count each of Aggravated Assault Drive-By Shooting, Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property, and Illegal Discharge of a Firearm.

• Jaylon Turner, 19 of Natalbany, has been booked on 1 count each of Aggravated Assault Drive-By Shooting, Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property, and Illegal Discharge of a Firearm.

• Larry Turner, Jr., 21 of Natalbany, has been charged with 1 count each of Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Assault Drive-By Shooting, Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Criminal Damage to Property, Conspiracy to Commit Illegal Discharge, and Introduction to Contraband.

The Jeanerette Police Department located the suspect vehicle. Inside were shell casings matching those from the Robert incident. From there, TPSO detectives determined the incident was the result of a directive to McGee, Perkins and Jaylon Turner issued by his brother, Larry Turner, Jr. who was in the Tangipahoa Parish Jail at the time.

Over the course of several days, Jaylon Turner was taken into custody in Jeanerette, Perkins was taken
into custody along with his 18 year-old girlfriend Brianna Hudson, who was charged with Obstruction of Justice, and McGee was taken into custody during a traffic stop in Hammond. Upon Larry Turner, Jr. being rebooked in connection with this case, he was found to have a cell phone in his possession.

The TPSO wants to thank the public and the Jeanerette Police Department for their partnership in closing this case.
