Three suspects caught through witness reports, footage

Three arrests have been made in regards to the attacks and thefts during the night of the Grambling game on Sept. 7.

DeQuincy Smiley of Monroe was arrested on Sept. 11, and Markee York and a juvenile were arrested on Sept. 17.

According to Lt. Steven Mahon, they were able to find the three suspects through several witness statements, and video footage they obtained through surveillance cameras and iPhone video.

“It was good ol’ fashioned police work from there, just track them down,” said Mahon. “Several of them were high school students and we picked them up there, and another one at his house.”

The nicknames of the remaining suspects cannot be released to the public because they are juveniles.

Taylor Spann, a junior pre-physical therapy major, hopes they are able to find the rest of them soon.

“It’s good to know that someone is doing their job,” said Spann. “[The age of the suspects] makes me question what’s wrong with the youth today.”

To prevent any further incidents, Mahon said they will be reorganizing the locations of officers for future games.

The campus police department has begun to issue UPD Timely Notifications by email under Mahon’s administration.

According to Mahon, they reviewed the Clery Act and handbook which states that they are required to send out notices to the community.
