EBRSO Solves Burglary/Shooting

By  | 

 

    Returning home on December 22, the resident of a home on Deer Creek just outside of Central on Hwy 64, found two black males wearing masks standing in the bedroom door, one pointing a gun.  The masked burglar holding the gun ordered the victim not make any noise and to do what he was told.  The victim ran out of the back door and jumped off the deck, fleeing from the residence.  The masked burglar chased the victim and fired up to six shots, missing the victim.  The suspects then fled to the back of the subdivision.
    In February, an EBRSO Detective arrested a Pride resident on another burglary and that suspect offered information on the December 22nd incident.  As a result of the tip, several photo lineups, and further investigation by EBRSO, on March 8 Robert Neff was apprehended and on April 10 Johnny Lee Shelmire “LJ” Mitchell was apprehended.  Both were booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for Aggravated Burglary and Attempted First Degree Murder.
