Ouachita County Investigates Camden Teen Homicide, Three Arrests Made

The disappearance of 18-year-old William Braden Roberson from Camden, Arkansas, has been reclassified as a homicide following an investigation that began as a missing person case. Roberson was last seen after an altercation with three individuals on July 24, which initially was thought to have occurred at Sandy Beach Park but was later determined to have taken place outside Camden city limits. Arrest warrants were issued for the three suspects, with one arrested in Union County and two others apprehended in Bossier City, Louisiana. Authorities confirmed Roberson’s body was found in a wooded area near Norphlet, and the case is now being led by the Ouachita County Sheriff’s Department, with continued support from Camden Police and Arkansas State Police. Roberson’s mother publicly announced his death, expressing her grief and love on social media. Details about the suspects and the cause of death have not been released as the investigation continues.
