The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has made two arrests in a shooting investigation from last month in Roseland city limits. On June 24, 2026, a local hospital alerted the TPSO that a 21-year-old man showed up to the ER with multiple gunshot wounds. While he was initially listed in critical condition, the victim has since been released.
The investigation determined the victim was injured on Sawdust Lane in the Town of Roseland, but the TPSO was requested to lead the investigation. Detectives determined the victim met with a group to exchange guns and, at some point, shots were fired. Thanks to cooperation from the public, two suspects were identified and warrants were issued for their arrest.
D’Marvin Williams, age 19, was taken into custody for one count of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder Tuesday night through the coordinated efforts of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office (EBRSO). Williams was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison as a fugitive from Tangipahoa Parish. Additional EBRSO charges related to this investigation are pending.
Dedrian Batiste, age 23, was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on one count of Accessory to Attempted 2nd Degree Murder thanks to assistance from the EBRSO.
After receiving investigative intelligence from TPSO detectives, the EBRSO Gang Intelligence and Enforcement Unit located Williams at a residence in Baton Rouge and coordinated with the EBRSO Homicide Division, SCAT Division, SWAT Team, and Narcotics Division to safely take him into custody without incident. During the operation, investigators recovered a Century Arms RAS47 rifle, a Ruger RXM 9mm pistol equipped with an apparent conversion switch, suspected cocaine, a Glock extended magazine, multiple aftermarket firearm triggers, a rifle scope, and ammunition.
