Antonio Donde Tyson, 49, a suspect, was detained and jailed on suspicion of first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, obstructing the administration of justice, resisting an officer, and illegal possession of stolen property, according to the police.

According to a representative of the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office, Young, 71, died as a result of blunt and sharp force trauma. It was determined that his death was a homicide.

Hours after the attack at Club Q, the mother of the Colorado Springs shooting suspect is accused of disorderly behavior.
According to the spokeswoman, the second victim is a woman, and the office is utilizing DNA to identify her. Ruth Prats, a colleague of Young’s, has been reported missing by NBC affiliate WDSU of New Orleans.

In a statement on Tuesday, St. Peter Parish expressed their “devastation” over the killings.

The church added in a statement, “We are profoundly saddened, and ask that you join us in prayer for Fr. Otis and Ruth, who is still listed as missing, as well as for their families. The suspect has no connection to us.”
