A late-night argument in Reserve, Louisiana, ended with fatal gunfire. On Saturday, September 27, 2025, 21-year-old Tylen Anderson was shot and killed after a verbal dispute with an acquaintance. Deputies were called about a shooting in the 300 block of Railroad Avenue around 9:35 p.m.; a witness reported seeing someone loaded into an orange Dodge sedan that then fled. Responding officers found clothing and a shell casing at the scene.

Less than ten minutes after the call, a patrol officer stopped an orange Dodge on West Airline Highway. The driver, 20-year-old Tyler Bourgeois of LaPlace, told deputies there was a body in the trunk. Officers discovered Anderson’s body; Bourgeois was taken into custody, confessed to shooting Anderson after the argument, and was booked on second-degree murder with bond set at $250,000. Anderson’s family said he grew up in the church and liked playing video games.
