Ferriday — A Ferriday teen was arrested after an early-morning argument allegedly ended in the shooting of his stepfather.

Kadarius Jamal Brown, 17, 126 Lee Tyler Road, Ferriday, was arrested on charges of felony aggravated second-degree battery, domestic violence and illegal carrying of weapons.

The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to the call at 1:14 a.m., CPSO Public Information Officer Kathleen Stevens said.

Deputies reportedly found Don Sheppard, 40, on the step at the front of the house. Sheppard was reportedly shot once in his side, and he was transported to Riverland Medical Center for treatment, which was ongoing Friday afternoon, Stevens said.

Sheppard’s wound was reportedly from a handgun.

Deputies said they found Brown in his bedroom, and he was arrested without incident, Stevens said.

Brown claims the incident was unintentional, Stevens said.

Brown was detained without bond Friday.
