ZACHARY - The suspected gunman believed to be connected to the deadly shooting that happened in Zachary on Sunday, Feb. 7 turned himself in to authorities Sunday night (Feb.21).

On Monday, Feb. 8 police identified the suspect as 34-year-old Jeffery Neff.

The deadly incident happened in Zachary's Live Oak Trace community on Hidden Pass Drive. Officials reported that 32-year-old Kylan Givens, died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Neff turned himself in to authorities Sunday night with the support from his family who came to defend his innocence.

Neff had an arrest record, since 2016 he'd been taken into custody on charges of domestic abuse, stalking, and simple battery.
