Damarcus D. McNeal, 29, was booked at the St. Mary Parish jail on September 2, 2026, according to the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office inmate roster. The record lists two charges, written as "ATTEMPTED 1ST DEGREE MURDER" and "ROBBERY - ARMED." The roster lists no bond amount and no case or docket number.

The roster publishes no statute citation for either charge, so the following is general legal context drawn from the current official Louisiana Revised Statutes rather than the sections the parish charged. Louisiana defines first degree murder at R.S. 14:30 as the killing of a human being where the offender has a specific intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm and is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of one of an enumerated list of felonies — armed robbery among them — along with further enumerated circumstances. R.S. 14:27 defines attempt generally: a person who has a specific intent to commit a crime and does an act for the purpose of and tending directly toward accomplishing it is guilty of an attempt, and mere preparation is not enough. R.S. 14:64 defines armed robbery. These descriptions explain what the statutes cover; they are not findings that McNeal committed any element of them, and any penalty they carry would apply only upon conviction.

A booking record is a public record of an arrest and charges. It is not a conviction, and McNeal is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. No indictment, plea, or case disposition is recorded for this booking.
