A 20-year-old Iowa, La., man was arrested Thursday following a fatal shooting.

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said it was contacted by the Iowa Police Department at about 10 a.m. requesting assistance in reference to a deceased person — later identified as Tyrinn A. Leday, 22 — found in a ditch in the area of S. Bowers Avenue and W. 1st Street.

Spokesperson Kayla Vincent said during the initial investigation CPSO Violent Crimes detectives learned Leday and another individual were in the area of S. Bowers Avenue and 1st  Street to confront someone regarding a prior altercation. Shortly after they arrived, Jordan M. James, 20, Iowa, exited his residence on South Bowers and began shooting at them, then fled the scene. Leday was struck multiple times and died from his injuries. The other victim managed to flee the area without being shot.     

CPSO deputies and detectives remained in the area throughout the investigation, until about 10:30 p.m., when James was located at a residence on South Lambert Avenue in Iowa and taken into custody.        

James was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with obstruction of justice; second-degree murder; illegal use of a weapon during a crime of violence; and aggravated assault with a firearm. His bond is pending.
