Slidell Shooting – 16 Year-Old Injured – 18 Year-Old Arrested

The Slidell Police Department has arrested 18-year-old Jarvion Evans, following a shooting incident that left a 16-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound. 

Shortly after 10:00pm on Saturday, October 17th, 2026, the Slidell Police Department responded to a call for service involving a 16-year-old juvenile who had been shot at a residence off Pontchartrain Drive. Officers learned that Jarvion Evans had accidentally and negligently discharged a firearm while inside a residence, where he and several other subjects were filming videos for social media. While filming a social media video, Evans discharged the firearm, striking the juvenile in the shoulder. The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery. 

Following this incident and prior to officers' arrival, Evans fled the scene, but contacted the Slidell Police Department a short time later to turn himself in. Evans cooperated with investigators and led them to where he discarded the firearm. 

Evans was subsequently booked on the charge of Illegal Use of Weapons.
