East Feliciana jury convicts man of double homicide, attempted murder

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Sheriff Jeff Travis announced that an East Feliciana Parish jury returned guilty verdicts on Thursday, April 3, against Deandre Lemond Galmon, 38, of Clinton, for two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. The verdicts came after just under two and a half hours of deliberation.

The case was prosecuted by the 20th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and stemmed from a violent crime spree that began in April 2020.

Galmon was originally arrested on April 28, 2020, in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. He was taken into custody on an arrest warrant issued by East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives, charging him with the first-degree murder of Darold Williams, 64, of Ethel, and the attempted murder of Charles Slack, 48, of Centreville, Mississippi.

Following his extradition back to Louisiana, Galmon was also charged with the first-degree murder of Teyhones Elliott, 37, of Clinton.

The investigation began on April 24, 2020, when first responders discovered the charred remains of Williams inside a burned mobile home on W. Lakeshore Drive in Ethel. Around the same time, EFPSO was notified that Charles Slack had arrived at a Mississippi hospital with a gunshot wound.

The following day, Elliott’s burned vehicle was discovered on Rattlesnake Road. On April 29, his body was found nearby at the intersection of Old Liberty Road North and Gilead Road. Autopsy results confirmed that both Williams and Elliott died from gunshot wounds to the head.

EFPSO detectives, working with the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office, led the multi-agency investigation that ultimately resulted in the arrests of Galmon and Herbert Collins, 43, also of Clinton. Collins pleaded guilty to his role in the crimes prior to Galmon’s trial.

Sheriff Travis thanked investigators and prosecutors for their diligent work and affirmed the Parish’s continued commitment to justice and public safety.
