AMITE — A 19-year-old accused of armed carjackings has been arrested by Tangipahoa Parish deputies. 

Deputies arrested Kendall Jackson III for a Thursday morning carjacking, but he is also a suspect in a separate Amite carjacking that happened last week. He is also believed to be connected to a shooting in the area earlier this week.

The latest incident occurred early Thursday on Bankston Road in Amite. Deputies responded to the scene after a man and a woman reported that four males entered their yard, pointed weapons at them and demanded money and car keys before fleeing in the victims' vehicle. Neither victim was injured.

Detectives identified Jackson on Thursday evening as one of the suspects involved in the Bankston Road robbery.
