In a tragic turn of events that unfolded in Webster Parish, Louisiana, a young man named Omar Lott lost his life. On August 24, 2014, Lott was shot and killed in what law enforcement officials described as a potential drug deal that had taken a fatal turn. For three days, his fate remained a mystery to his loved ones until his remains were discovered in a secluded, wooded area off of Walter Lyons Road.
The investigation into Lott's death led authorities to two brothers, J'Son and Dylan Turk. Investigators determined that J'Son Turk was the one who fired the fatal shot that ended Omar Lott's life. Following the shooting, his brother, Dylan Turk, assisted in concealing the crime by helping to hide Lott's body. The actions of both brothers led to their subsequent arrests and a journey through the legal system.
In court, both J'Son and Dylan Turk faced the consequences of their actions. J'Son Turk, the man responsible for the shooting, entered a guilty plea to the charge of manslaughter. For his role in the crime, he faced a potential sentence of up to 40 years in prison. Dylan Turk, who aided his brother after the fact, pleaded guilty to the charge of accessory after the fact. Their sentencing was scheduled for February 1, 2016, bringing a close to the legal proceedings in a case that ended one life and irrevocably altered the lives of two others.
