ZACHARY - A Baton Rouge man was arrested in Zachary for killing a 23-year-old at an Austin, Texas, park in 2024, the U.S. Marshals said.

Catrailon Jarrell, 21, was arrested after barricading himself in the attic at a Zachary home on Royal Oaks Court. 

He's accused of killing Tayjay Stephens, who was found in a car with a gunshot wound at Bartholomew Park in Austin in April 2024, according to the Austin Police Department. 

Police say Jarrell shot Stephens in the driver's seat of his car after a basketball game at the park and robbed him. 

Through an investigation, police identified Jarrell as a suspect. Authorities searched for him over the course of the next two years, finally tracking him down at a house in Zachary. 

That's where the U.S. Marshals Service Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force, with assistance from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office SWAT Team and the Baton Rouge Police Department Special Response Team, arrested him. 

Jarrell was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for first-degree murder, where he awaits extradition to Texas.
