Kameran Bedsole was found dead on Jasper Road in Iberia Parish on November 14. The 36-year-old man was determined to have been shot and killed the day prior. Two weeks later, on November 28, 2023, a warrant issued by the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office was used by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office to arrest an 11-year-old female.

The juvenile was charged with First Degree Murder.

Then, on Tuesday, December 5, another juvenile was arrested and charged with First Degree Murder before being booked into the Jackson Parish Juvenile Detention Center.

“It’s always disturbing to this office when we investigate a homicide such as this case," Sheriff Tommy Romero said in a statement.
