Baton Rouge – new details of the murder that happened in the McDonald’s parking lot along the airline’s highway, were released on Tuesday.

The new arrest documents show that 33-year-old Melvin Robinson, the man arrested in the fatal firing of State representative K. Denise Marcel, a grandson, set fire to the car he got at the restaurant to kill the 22-year-old D-Sean Brown on January 20th.

In a statement, he says Robinson and two others got to McDonald’s and approached the car in which Brown sat before shooting him repeatedly. A witness told police that Robinson, the driver of the car, was the one who shot Brown.

Police said Robinson and the two passengers went to the Maroon SUV where they arrived. They added that the officers had found the car swallowed up the next day near Robinson’s apartment in East Brookstown Drive, while Baton Rouge was sunk in the largest snowfall that the city saw in a century.

More than a week later, on January 30, officers searched Robinson’s apartment and took him for questioning. Police said he had given numerous controversial statements about his location on January 20. He first claims that he did not own the car before changing his story in order to be in a wreck in the car weeks before.

After he was shown SUV video surveillance in McDonald’s, police said he admitted he had a car before admitting that he had used gas to set SUV on fire on January 21st.

Robinson was booked at the parish prison in East Baton Rouge for second -degree murder, illegal use of weapons, possession of a firearm by a convicted criminal, and obstructing justice on January 31.
