They had other help obviously. They haven’t been in JTs apartment for two months becuase he hasn’t been there for two months. *Edit — Did JT report for summer workouts in June?

My question was based on the fact that the murder happened in May.

Has it been substantiated that guns were his?


It has not been confirmed in the public reporting.

I was surprised to find victim was also an ASH student. There weren't many bad neighborhoods zoned for that HS back in my day and recent zoning looks similar. Wonder if it is a case of middle class neighborhood kids trying to be hard (we had a few of those in my hood) or if they're actually from poor crime ridden part of town.


Rapides Parish is now open-enrollment meaning you don't have to be zoned for a school anymore in order to attend it. So the kids could have been from anywhere in the parish. I don't have any information on where they lived though. Just adding context that the zones don't matter anymore.

The murder occurred in the 4000 block of Clark Street. (Peabody Zone) This is off of Lee Street not far from Academy, certainly not a spot I go for joy rides.

I found the inmate info for the 3 suspects. 1st hailed from 6th St and the 2 that hid out on campus were listed at a shared address on Lakeside (sounds nice but it's run down apt bldgs and no lake in sight) right around block from murder site.) It gets bad real quick back there, prolly shoulda had my head on a swivel everytime we stopped at Shipley's near there on way out of town. Only school choice back in my day was to go to Peabody Magnet if wanted to take AP. I was looking forward to rooting for another Trojan turned Tiger. Too bad he couldn't leave that life behind.

Still, proving someone knew this or that will be difficult, so can see a plea deal down to a lessor charge.
It will be very easy to prove

If he opened any Facebook article, instagram story, etc, they will know from His phone records or computer. If he got a single text, etc

The chance he never once with friends lf his being wanted for murder never looked at Facebook or got a text etc about it are almost impossible to beleive

His phone is going to be littered with evidence he knew

Absolute hearsay... but my brother's friend, who is in law enforcement, relayed that his texts explicitly prove that Lindsey was aware. They apparently have texts showing JT discussing it with other friends from back home. He knew,

There is a 100% chance he has texts on his phone. Guys, it’s impossible for friends of your hometown to be wanted for murder and you wouldn’t have texts about it

Think how crazy it sounds to pretend he wouldn’t

Under a couch or a chair? Or the coat closet in the entry that no one opens in 90 degree weather?

You don't walk in, or even stay the weekend in my house and know the extent of my arsenal. Not saying he didn't, but he might not have known. Let the process play out.

It's feasible these guys showed up and strong armed their way in initially. They're charged w murder, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery (first arrestee). I'd imagine if they showed up on his doorstep uninvited there was an implied if not overt threat to his and his loved ones' well being. Even if they didnt have his address it wouldnt take much forethought to cruise down to campus, stalk out players' dorms and look for his vehicle.

Got to wonder if it's simply a thug street code/loyalty thing to harbor known criminals or a real fear that turning them in would inevitably lead to dire consequences for you and/or your people when the inept system most likely releases them back on the streets in short order.

This one of my main questions, as well.
Maybe he knew, but was fearful of telling them to get out. They had already killed one of his homies...
If that is plausible, the state will have a hard time with specific intent....

I couldn’t imagine to pretend he doesn’t have incriminating texts with the guys he harbored

You think in 2025 they showed up at his place and they didn’t text back and forth?

Come on man. You’re trying too hard to keep him on the team. They didn’t commit murder and the next step was “Let’s go force our way into an LSU football player’s dorm”. They didn’t stake out his place to figure out where he lived. Let’s get back to reality.

His defense will probably try to argue he was scared. Problem is they already stated he didn’t know. I’m sure he didn’t claim fear in his initial interview but instead claimed ignorance. His change in story won’t help.

Let's get real, now! I went to college and I don't know of anyone who had a couple of buddies come crash at their dorm for several days. I totally understand letting a buddy crash for the night after drinking too much, but crashing for days makes no sense. Was Lindsey having a slumber party?

I don’t think it’s very relevant. They probably weren’t fwiw. But it’s hard to prove knowledge of that.

If I was on the lam that's exactly what I'd do. I'd go radio silent and show up unannounced at an out of town friend or acquaintance. Better yet one with means to support and strong incentive not to let us get found out. His attorney stated he allowed them to "stay at his LSU apartment for a couple of nights beginning on or around July 24th." So, hopefully it wasnt knowingly scheming to give prolonged refuge to the murderous pair and maybe he just panicked when they rolled up out of blue 2 months after the crime.

You never heard of anyone coming in to party from out of town and couch surfing for the weekend? People do that all the time hometown friends, friends at other campuses, etc. 18-21 year olds aren't getting hotel rooms when they have friends to crash with. I'm not saying this situation is the same. But for you to suggest it would be very unusual for college students to have friends crash at their apartment for more than a night is absurd. I'm also certain these student athlete apartments are comfortable enough for a short term guest or two. It's not like he was staying in old Kirby.

This isn’t a movie. People don’t just show up to couch surf at your dorm.

So the friends knew how to find his exact apartment yet they don’t text each other? How did the sleuths find it?
