42-year-old Chad Credeur of Duson has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Green said at the time the bodies were discovered they received a call from authorities in Jeff Davis Parish where Credeur was arrested on unrelated charges.
“And it just so happened that at the time of his arrest, he had items that belonged to our victims, and so they contacted Lafayette Police Department,” said Green.
As for when the shooting occurred, is also under investigation, and Green said police spoke with residents of the apartment complex in the 700 block of College Road Friday night. They are asking for the public’s help.
“If there’s someone that lives in the apartment complex where the victims were located and we have yet to make contact with them, by all means, we urge them to contact Lafayette Police Department,” said Green.
Credeur is being held in Jeff Davis parish on unrelated charges.
