St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office detectives obtained a warrant for the arrest of a Kentwood man in connection with the May 2 homicide which occurred on Pansy Street in the Abita Nursery Subdivision.
Tyrus Brock (DOB 11/8/1995) was in the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on unrelated charges. A hold has been placed on him by the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office. Once he fulfills his requirements in Tangipahoa Parish, Brock will be transported to the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center, where he will be booked on one count of Second-degree Murder.
As reported before, STPSO deputies were dispatched to the area of Pansy and Progress Streets on May 2 in reference to gunshots. Responding deputies located a deceased black male inside a vehicle on Pansy Street. The St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Kawon Moore.
As a result of their investigation, STPSO detectives have identified Brock as one of the individuals responsible in Moore’s death.
The case is still being actively investigated and additional arrests may come later.
