LSU running back Trey Holly was apprehended on Thursday in connection with a recent shooting incident that resulted in injuries to two individuals.
As per Union Parish Sheriff Dusty Gates, Holly voluntarily surrendered to authorities and was charged with three felonies: attempted second-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, and illegal use of a weapon. The charges relate to an alleged occurrence at a Farmerville, La., apartment complex the previous Friday.
Per a Farmerville Police Department report, a woman sustained critical injuries after being shot thrice, while a man suffered a gunshot wound to his lower leg. Investigation revealed that multiple shooters discharged firearms during the incident. Alongside Holly, two others were apprehended. Sheriff Gates mentioned that the investigation remains ongoing, with expectations of further arrests.
