A Ruston man has been arrested in the murder of a 35-year-old woman and injuring of two others, including a one-year-old child. Chief Deputy Clint Williams says when police responded to the scene, they found Shakena Hampton deceased and the two other victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

 

Frank Stringfellow, the father of some of Hampton’s children, is charged with one count of first degree murder. Williams says the other woman injured, 54-year-old Doris Hampton, and a one-year-old are recovering.

Williams says after receiving a warrant for Stringfellow’s arrest, he was spotted in the Grambling area. He says Stringfellow was arrested without incident with the help of the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office along with Grambling Police Department.
