St. John Overdose Death Arrest By Jesse Brooks | March 11, 2021 at 3:05 PM CST - Updated March 12 at 7:47 AM
LAPLACE (WVUE) - A LaPlace man is in jail and charged with second-degree murder after authorities from the St. John Parish Sheriffâs Office say that he sold fentanyl to a victim that later died as the result of the powerful drug.
The charge comes for Kayon Rasheed Johnson, 43, as the result of an investigation by detectives that included the return of a toxicology report for the victim from the coronerâs office last December.
A Southern University student was found dead in Lake Pontchartrain on Thursday afternoon after being missing for two weeks.
The family of 21-year-old Marquise Jones confirmed the body as it was pulled from the lake by Jefferson Parish Sheriff s Office deputies.
The body was in waters in New Orleans when it was recovered so the New Orleans Police Department has since taken over the investigation into the death.
Jones was last seen on the night of February 26, when he dropped food off at his mother s home in Slidell. Friends of Jones said he came to a house party that same night and left around 11:30 pm.
