The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office announced the conviction of Anthony Brown, Jr., 15, on Friday, August 29, 2025, one year after the incident.
Brown was found “responsively guilty” by Caddo Parish Juvenile Judge Justin Courtney for the August 16, 2024, murder of Troy Ducote, 35, in the 3000 block of Boone Street
An adult neighbor who witnessed the incident testified at trial that he saw Brown fire a handgun in Ducote’s direction as he attempted to flee the conflict. He was shot in the back and was found by neighbors, deceased.
Brown was arrested shortly after.
Because he was 14 at the time of the slaying, the Caddo District Attorney James Stewart could not use his discretion to move Brown’s case to District Court for prosecution. However, the office said they attempted to use a rare provision of Louisiana law to try Brown as an adult for second-degree murder but were denied by the court at a hearing.
The teen will return to juvenile court for sentencing on September 29, 2025, and was remanded to the juvenile detention center.
