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.

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.

The firearms didn’t draw any red flags? Because if I go stay with a buddy for a few days I always bring a couple AR’s with me???

All you have to do is read some of these comments below to see what is wrong in our society. People want to make excuses for criminal behavior and refuse to hold people accountable.

Why are we the only program that has multiple homicide associatons? Lindsey, Southern RB i cant even remember his name. CEH was invovled but that was self defense. I think I heard there was like 2010s about something about a LSU football player with a basketball player. Why are we the only ones? Louisiana crime is horrible and these players come directly from the people that do it.

He will never play a snap in a LSU uniform now so congrats kid. Idiots some of these kids are.

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

I wasn't insinuating that they forced their way in. But by allowing, and not refusing them, he is responsible for endangering his teammates

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.
