The Shreveport Police Department announced the arrest of three people in relation to the shooting death of Officer Chatéri Payne.

Police arrested Glenn Frierson, 38, Trevon Anderson, 26, and Lawrence Pierre, 22, on Tuesday. All three will be charged with second-degree murder, according to KSLA-TV 12.

Anderson is reportedly described in a police report as being “involved in a shooting where he admitted to the role he played.” The report noted he was arrested and charged with 2nd-degree murder.

The reports added that Frierson “confessed to being involved in a shooting arrested for 2nd-degree murder.”

Pierre is described as “being present at the time of a shooting, arrested for 2nd-degree murder and possession.”

Chief of Police Ben Raymond informed the media that a briefing will be held Wednesday to discuss details of the arrests.

Officer Payne was shot on January 10 outside her Shreveport home as she was leaving for work.

“Every life is precious, and the taking of any human life is unacceptable,” police chief Ben Raymond said. “But when a servant who has taken an oath and committed their life to protecting others is violently taken from us, we all collectively feel the pain of that loss.”
