In a quiet Lake Charles neighborhood, the life of 34-year-old Broderick Jackson, a male resident, was tragically cut short on a Tuesday in August. On August 17, 2021, Jackson became the victim of a homicide, a violent end to a life that prompted an immediate and intensive investigation by the Lake Charles Police Department.
Within a day of the fatal incident, law enforcement officials announced a significant development in the case.
Andre Price Jr., a 27-year-old also from Lake Charles, was taken into custody. Price was subsequently charged with second-degree murder in connection with Jackson's death, a serious accusation that pointed to a swift, though somber, turn in the investigation.
Following his arrest, Andre Price Jr. was brought before a judge who set his bond at a substantial $750,000. While the arrest marked a critical step forward, authorities indicated that the investigation was far from over. Detectives continued to piece together the events that led to the death of Broderick Jackson, urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing clarity and justice to a case that had suddenly shattered the peace of the community. There are currently no publicly available online sources that detail the outcome of any trial or conviction related to this case.
