Gardner, a resident of St. Martinville, was detained in Texas after an arrest warrant was issued for second-degree murder. The arrest follows a coordinated effort by law enforcement agencies along the I-10 corridor, leading to Gardner being identified as a passenger in a vehicle stopped by Texas authorities.

St. Martinville Police are urging anyone with additional information, including cell phone videos from that night, to come forward to assist in the investigation. The community is encouraged to contact St. Martinville Police Department detectives directly at (337) 394-3001.
