Three teenage students from Riverdale High School in Old Jefferson have been arrested in connection with a Shrewsbury shooting that left one man injured. 

Royce Wilson, 17, of New Orleans, and Terrence Webb, 18, of Jefferson, were booked Wednesday with attempted second-degree murder, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.

A third, 17-year-old suspect was booked with being an accessory after the fact to attempted second-degree murder. He is not being identified because he is a juvenile.

Wilson was named because he is accused of a crime of violence, as defined by state law, Rivarde said. Being an accessory to attempted murder is not considered a crime of violence.

Investigators linked the trio to an Aug. 15 shooting at the intersection of Shrewsbury Road and Andover Street in the Shrewsbury neighborhood, Rivarde said.

The victim, a 21-year-old Harvey man, was driving in the neighborhood and stopped at the intersection about 5:45 p.m., according to authorities. Witnesses said the man got into an argument with three people standing on the corner.

As the man drove off, one of the three pulled out a gun and shot at the car, the Sheriff’s Office said. The man suffered gunshot wounds to his leg, hip and shoulder.

The man switched places with a male passenger who drove him to the hospital. He was in stable condition shortly after the shooting, authorities said.

Detectives learned the people standing on the corner were possibly wearing the maroon-colored uniforms of nearby Riverdale High School, located about a mile away at 240 Riverdale Drive, Old Jefferson, authorities said.

Investigators identified the three teens as suspects, and detectives took them into custody at the school Wednesday. 

All three are Riverdale students, Jefferson Parish Public School System Spokesman Ted Beasley confirmed.

In addition to the attempted murder charge, Webb was booked with obstruction of justice, an arrest report said.

Webb and Wilson were being held without bond Thursday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. The third suspect was booked into the juvenile detention center in Harvey, Rivarde said.
