The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a 14-year-old Slidell-area boy Monday (September 21) morning after he shot his dad's fiancée.

Shortly after 6:30 a.m. Monday the juvenile called 911 to report his dad’s live-in fiancée had been shot.

“Unfortunately this is another domestic related homicide,” Sheriff Randy Smith said. “Our prayers go out to the family affect by this tragedy.”
