Murder suspect now faces sex crime charge

The teenager already facing a first-degree murder charge in last week’s Patterson-area shooting death now faces a sex crime charge as well.

Cameron Jaron Schrod Hogan, 18, Patterson, was booked on a charge of unlawful carnal knowledge of a juvenile. He remains in the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center. His bond has been set at $750,000.

A 16-year-old has also been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Keiondre Onell Allridge, 21, who lived in the Thibodaux area.

The Sheriff’s Office provided no additional details about the sex crime charge against Hogan.

About 8:35 p.m. March 25, deputies responded to a call about shots fired in the Zenor Road area of Patterson and an additional call about a possible wounded man at a business in Patterson. At the business, deputies made contact with three occupants in a vehicle, the Sheriff's Office said in a press release.

One of the occupants, identified as Allridge, was later pronounced dead by the St. Mary Parish Coroner’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office said the investigation showed that Allridge and the occupants of the vehicle had traveled to a residence in Patterson to meet someone. While sitting in the vehicle, they were approached by two males, who subsequently fired at them, the Sheriff's Office said.

The driver of the vehicle drove the occupants to a truck stop at 1902 U.S. 90.

Later, two persons were developed as suspects in the murder. Detectives obtained and executed a search warrant at the home of one of the suspects, identified as Hogan, which led to drugs and weapons being seized.

The 16-year-old was booked on charges of first-degree murder and illegal possession of stolen firearms.
