LSU running back JT Lindsey reportedly turned himself in to university police on Friday after an arrest warrant was issued for him.

The freshman from Alexandria, Louisiana, faces felony charges of accessory after the fact to second-degree murder for allegedly allowing two teenage suspects who were wanted in connection with a May 2025 shooting to stay in his dormitory room earlier this year.

The suspects were located by the U.S. Marshals Service in early August at the dorm, where multiple firearms were discovered. Per WAFB:
quote:

The suspects, 17-year-old Shemell Jacobs and 18-year-old Keldrick Jordan, were arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in the Riverbend Building of the Nicholson Gateway dorms on Monday, August 4, 2025.

Lindsey went to high school in Alexandria with the two suspects. It’s believed the pair had been staying in his LSU on-campus apartment for nearly two weeks, a source familiar with the case told the WAFB I-TEAM.

A source tells the WAFB I-TEAM that marshals found multiple guns in the apartment-style dorm, including two AR-15 rifles, a Draco, and a Glock.

They were wanted in connection with the shooting death of 17-year-old Corey Brooks that happened in Alexandria last May.

His defense lawyer, Kris Perret, said even though Lindsey is now facing a criminal charge, Lindsey was unaware that those individuals were wanted for murder and was at football camp as this all played out.

Everything is in front of you to set yourself up for the rest of your life and you frick it up by harboring two of your dipshit buddies from back home while they’re hiding out from the cops.

In my experience, he probably didn’t think hiding his boys was a big deal being he wasn’t involved. Probably got a call “hey man we need to crash there for a few days that ok?” Knew they did something, but more than likely didn’t think it was a serious deal to let them stay there. Just my opinion.

You honestly believe that? Alexandria isnt exactly Nola. There were only 6 homicides in 2024. You have a murder from your home town and all the sudden your boys are wanting to come hide out with you in your 8x6 dorm room with an armory of firearms. LoL come on man

How many NIL athletes do you think are living in a tiny dorm room vs. getting student housing at like, the West Campus Apartments or the Northgate Apartments?

The difference is that pre-NIL kids had motivation to keep it quiet.

Another RB arrested? I guess he’ll be suiting up at Southern.

Don’t they sit these kids down and tell them not to do stupid stuff? Pretty sure they give a seminar on not being an idiot. These two were wanted for murder since May, before he moved away from Alexandria. He knew.

More believable if it had been 2 days. Two weeks and they never told him or slipped up and talked in front of him?

You don’t think he talked to a single person in Alexandria, including his family didn’t tell him that his 2 buddies were wanted? You don’t think he didn’t see it on Facebook? He knew they were wanted 100% and now he’s NOT wanted by anybody except Southern.

Alexandria? I know there's hood there, but it seems like "hood" is more of a state of mind

He better have a boatload of NIL money saved up, because his lawyers are going to be taking him to the cleaners. There is no excuse for allowing people into your room with guns. Endangering the other players around him should be enough to have him kicked off the team. Good bye

He probably invited them. They didn’t strong arm their way into his apartment
user avatar
BIIIL11 months
I wasn't insinuating that they forced their way in. But by allowing, and not refusing them, he is responsible for endangering his teammates

I'm surprised that he hasn't been suspended from the team yet. What are they waiting for. It will take months (if not years) to sort this out.
