On February 15, the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office (UPSO) reported the arrests of three suspects in connection to a double shooting in an apartment complex in Louisiana. One of those shooting suspects arrested was identified as Louisiana State University (LSU) freshman running back Trey Holly – who is now looking at three felony charges, including attempted murder. Two people were injured in those shootings in an incident that stemmed from an earlier altercation.
Holly turned himself in to the authorities and has since “been suspended indefinitely from all team activities,” according to an LSU spokesperson.
