On Saturday, October 12, police discovered the bodies of 17-year-old Dashayla Ardoin from Mamou, Louisiana, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Glenkeithan Robertson, a DJ from Opelousas, along a highway in Acadia Parish, according to local officials, PEOPLE reports.

A witness recounted seeing the couple arrive in a truck moments before hearing gunshots.
“A truck pulled up right across the street, happens all the time, literally every single day,” Austin Bellard told local news station KLFY.
“It wasn’t a truck that I normally seen, but it didn’t look out of place either,” Bellard said.
“They pulled up and I heard a couple of gunshots, didn’t really think anything of it,’ he recounted.
Bellard rushed over to see what happened, telling the news station: “I don’t want to tell you what I saw. It wasn’t good.”
