The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office reports that one person is in custody following a shooting at around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday (February 12, 2026) that killed one and injured four, including a 4-year-old boy .
In custody is 30-year-old Marquanvius Jones, who is facing 2nd Degree Murder, Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, and Assault with a Deadly Weapon charges.
TPSO received reports of multiple people injured in the townhome complex located on Willow Villa Road off of Old Baton Rouge Highway in the Hammond area. In total, five people were hit. Javan Myers, age 26, died from his injuries. Jones was struck as well. A 25-year-old man remains hospitalized in serious condition, while a 22-year-old female and a 4-year-old boy were treated and released.
The investigation has revealed that an argument among a group of people escalated to Jones firing into a crowd, with Myers firing back. While detectives are still working to determine the details of the argument, information gathered so far suggests it began over a request for a ride.
