A St. Tammany Grand Jury indicts six people in the fatal shooting death of a northshore couple and their unborn child.
Back in July, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff deputies found the body of 20 year-old Sylvanus “Jed” Ellis III, and his seven-month pregnant girlfriend, 21-year-old Qile Sanders.
Deputies found the couple and their unborn child, shot to death inside their SUV parked on a road inside the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge near Lacombe.
