A man has been arrested regarding the shooting, and Ouachita Parish police stated that "the investigation has led to the arrest of Daniel King Jr. King has been charged with one count of aggravated assault by drive-by shooting and booked into OCC."
Witnesses stated that they observed several gunshots being fired from a
vehicle, some of which hit two residences on the estate. The local Monroe, Louisiana, newspaper The News-Star
reported that "at 2:33
p.m. on April 24, a truck, described as a white over brown or beige Ford F-250
with large aftermarket tires and rims, drove past the property at least once
then returned and fired eight to 10 shots toward the estate, striking at least
two homes."
No one

bullet did pierce a window of a house that is home to Willie Robertson's son,
John Luke Robertson, where he lives with his wife, Mary Kate McEachern, and
their child.

charged with several crimes, including one count of aggravated assault by drive-by
shooting and one count of criminal neglect of family. His bond was set at
