On February 7, 2018, at 12:05 a.m. officers of the Abbeville Police Department responded to the area of Graceland Avenue and Hawthorne Street in reference to shots being fired in the area.

The initial investigation determined that a male victim identified as Marlon Brown, of Abbeville, had been shot and killed near his residence on Hawthorne Street, according to Lt. Jonathan Touchet, spokesperson for the Abbeville Police Department.

· Travis Cooper – Obstruction of justice

Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon

· Nikki Hebert – Obstruction of justice
