Cameras play role in murder suspect arrest

A new camera system helped Morgan City and Berwick officers and St. Mary deputies apprehend two suspects in a Winn Parish murder.
The Morgan City Police Department recently implemented a new Flock camera system.
Arrested were:
•Christian Campbell, 22, Seay Road, Goldonna, arrested at 3:09 p.m. April 10 on charges of possession of stolen things ($5,000-$25,000), first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, theft of a motor vehicle ( $5,000-$25,000) and obstruction of justice (Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office.)
•Amaney Labouve, 19, Ardoin Cove, Welch, arrested at 3:21 p.m. April 10 on charges of possession of stolen things ($5,000-$25,000), accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and failure to report the commission of certain felonies (Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office).
Late April 9, the MCPD received notifications that a stolen vehicle from Winn Parish was in the area.
Morgan City police investigators learned the occupants, Campbell and Labouve, may be involved in a murder investigation in connection with the stolen vehicle.
Investigators notified the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s office and the Berwick Police Department who assisted in attempting to locate the vehicle.
On the evening hours of April 10th officers responded to notifications that the vehicle returned to the area. Officers conducted a stop on the vehicle, both Campbell and Labouve were occupants and arrested without further incident.
The Winn Parish Sheriff’s deputies, including Winn Parish Sheriff Josh McAllister, proceeded to Morgan City to collaborate with local investigators.
Campbell and Labouve were booked and processed for possession of stolen things. Each is held on a $1 million bond.
On Tuesday, the Winn Parish Sheriff’s Department issued additional warrants for Campbell and Labouve in connection with a homicide from Winn Parish. Both subjects are awaiting transport back to Winn Parish for further court proceedings.
Since the installation and implementation of new Flock Safety cameras, the Morgan City Police Department has had much success using its resources to fight crime, the department said.
Campbell and Labouve were wanted in the death of Randell Kelley, 55, who was found dead in his home in the Brewton Mill community April 9.
