A Louisiana man has been arrested in connection with the murders of a trio of homeless people in Baton Rouge, police announced Thursday.

Jeremy Anderson, 29, was arrested without incident late Wednesday on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder, Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul told reporters during a press conference.

Anderson, of Baton Rouge, was taken into custody after a search warrant was executed at his home, where evidence found inside linked him to the slayings, Paul said.

Anderson later made incriminating statements that placed him at the crime scenes, the chief said.

Paul announced Friday that detectives believed the killings of three homeless people since Dec. 13 were related, although a definitive link had yet to be found at the time.

Tony Williams, 50, was found fatally shot on a porch of a vacant home on Friday, roughly two blocks away from where other homeless people, Christina Fowler, 53, and Gregory Corcoran, 40, were found dead with gunshot wounds two weeks earlier, police said.

There’s no evidence that anyone else was involved in the slayings, according to Paul, who did not provide an alleged motive in the three killings. It’s also unclear if Anderson knew his victims, Paul said.

Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said tips from the public to police investigators showed the community’s “commitment to fight back against crime.” She also thanked reporters for spreading awareness about the investigation.

“The case is particularly tragic as the victims were part of a community that is often overlooked and vulnerable,” Broome told reporters.
