Chief Jimmy Travis of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office said two murder suspects from St. Helena Parish were taken into custody after a deputy pursuit resulted in the suspects’ vehicle crashing in Tangipahoa Parish.
Travis said that the suspects crashed their vehicle on Puleston Road Monday night, just west of Amite and south of Highway 16.
St. Helena Sheriff’s deputies had been searching for 25 YO Tyrone Henderson and 24 YO Percy Lee III in recent days.
Tangipahoa Parish deputies got involved in a pursuit with the two suspects as they stopped their vehicle for a traffic stop on Bennett Road northwest of Amite.
The two were wanted as suspects in a murder on Horseshoe Road in St. Helena Parish.
Days ago, a third suspect in the case, 23 YO Dedrick Henderson, was arrested in Orleans Parish.
