Charles family demanding arrest in Quawan Charles death

Members of Quawan “Bobby” Charles’  family showed up at the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office Monday afternoon to demand the arrest of a Loreauville woman in the 15-year-old’s death.

In a 15-minute exchange with IPSO staff, including a receptionist, Chief Deputy Richard Fleming and Media Relations Director Katherine Breaux, Celina Charles, Quawan Charles’ first cousin, along with Jamal Taylor, a civil rights activist with The Village in Lafayette, argue that Janet Irvin, a woman who picked up Quawan Charles in Baldwin on Oct. 30 and brought hin to her home in Loreauville, should be charged with negligence and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

Fleming reiterated that the investigation into Quawan Charles’ death is ongoing. Specifically, toxicology results from the official autopsy have not been received yet.

Celina Charles said the toxicology results from a private autopsy the family ordered have not been completed, either.
