LSU’s JT Lindsey Arrested After Allegedly Harboring Two Murder Suspects In Dorm

J.T. Lindsey, a freshman running back for the LSU Tigers, surrendered himself to police after he allegedly harbored two murder suspects in his dorm.

18-year-old Keldrick Jordan and 17-year-old Shemell Jacobs were both wanted in Louisiana for charges of second-degree murder and armed robbery, according to the Alexandria Police Department. Each suspect was apprehended Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service in the dorms of LSU.

Jordan and Jacobs are accused of murdering a 17-year-old, with the alleged killing taking place in May. (RELATED: Tennessee’s Ruby Whitehorn Arrested On Aggravated Burglary, Domestic Assault)

Lindsey was placed under arrest Friday, being hit with two accessory-after-the-fact to second-degree murder charges. He was released on a $5,000 bond the same day.

According to an affidavit, Jacobs was in possession of Lindsey’s school ID and PIN to be able to get into the LSU dorm. Per a report from WAFB-TV, Lindsey and Jacobs have been spotted together, with July 24 being the earliest date.

Kris Perret, the attorney for Lindsey, said to WAFB-TV in an official statement that the Tigers running back wasn’t aware of Jordan and Jacobs allegedly being connected to a murder and that his client is innocent.

“My client JT Lindsey has been arrested on allegations of ‘accessory after the fact’ for allowing two individuals, ages 17 and 18, who unbeknownst to him, were wanted in Alexandria, to stay at his LSU apartment for a couple of nights beginning on or around July 24th,” said Perret.

“It is alleged that the two individuals were wanted for crimes they are accused of committing in mid-May of 2025 in Alexandria, Louisiana. There are no allegations that JT Lindsey was in anyway involved in, or in any way connected to the alleged crimes of the arrested individuals.”
