Monroe, Louisiana – Authorities have arrested Payton Travis Tyrone, 24, in connection with a brutal triple homicide that has shaken the Monroe community. The victims of this horrific crime, which occurred on October 28, 2025, were found with fatal gunshot wounds to the head, including a 2-year-old girl, whose death has sparked widespread outrage and heartbreak.

According to booking records from the Ouachita Correctional Center, Payton has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder, home invasion, and criminal conspiracy. His arrest followed an intense investigation, culminating in his capture by Monroe Police early on October 29, just hours after the horrific crime.

The Victims:

The tragic deaths of Jhersi Simpson, a toddler, and her father, Jaborris Simpson, have particularly devastated the local community, drawing emotional reactions from residents and online commenters.

He was processed into custody at 2:10 a.m. on October 29, and is being held without bond at the Ouachita Correctional Center.

Payton’s first court appearance is scheduled for October 29, 2025, at noon in the 4th Judicial District Court, where he will face charges related to this tragic event.
