A LaPlace man is in jail after St. John the Baptist Parish sheriff's deputies say they found a body in the trunk of the man's car Saturday night.
Tyler Bourgeois, 20, is facing a charge of second-degree murder.
The body in the trunk has been identified as that of 21-year-old Tylen Anderson of LaPlace.
A deputy spotted a similar vehicle a short distance away on Airline Hwy. and pulled the car over.
"As officers approached (Bourgeois), he voluntarily informed officers that a body was in the trunk of the vehicle that he was driving," said Tregre.
Tregre said deputies got the keys and opened the trunk and found Anderson, dead from a gunshot wound to the temple.
