In a late-night incident that has shaken the East Carroll Parish community, the Louisiana State Police were called to investigate a homicide that took the life of young Tshon Jackson, according to a recent bulletin by the Louisiana State Police. On Sunday, at approximately 1:00 a.m., detectives from the Louisiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division - Monroe Field Office (LSP MFO) were summoned by the East Carroll Parish Sheriff’s Office to the scene at the 1200 block of Second Street in Lake Providence, according to the Louisiana State Police.
The situation escalated when, after a thorough investigation that included interviews and gathering evidence, an arrest warrant was secured for 19-year-old Zacorrion McCallum of Tallulah; McCallum now faces charges of second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a person convicted of certain felonies, and obstruction of justice, and was swiftly processed at the East Carroll Parish Detention Center, his fate hinging on the forthcoming legal proceedings which are sure to unfold in the shadow of this weekend's somber revelation.
According to the Louisiana State Police, LSP MFO will lead the investigation with continued assistance from the local sheriff’s office, and the inquiry persists as active and ongoing. No further details have been made available to the public at this point. The law enforcement body appeals to the community for any additional information, pictures, or video relating to this case, urging those who can contribute to step forward.
The LSP authorities have made it clear that cooperation from the public could be invaluable, and an online reporting system is available, which provides a secure, anonymous method to submit information that could assist investigators while shielding the identity of those who are, understandably, reluctant in a landscape which evermore grapples with issues of safety and civic responsibility, a community is once more called to close the ranks in the face of tragedy. For direct communication, the LSP Fusion Center Hotline can be reached at 1-800-434-8007.
