Shreveport Police Chief Ben Raymond says investigaros have worked around the clock to catch up to 3 suspects in the murder of police officer Chateri Payne.
The chief addressed reporters during a news conference this morning.
Raymond says Treveon Anderson was Payne's boyfriend and the father of her child. The chief says Anderson initially claimed he was inside the house on Midway and heard shots outside.
