A Bunkie man faces murder charges in Rapides and an Alexandria woman is accused of an unsuccessful attempt.

As of Sunday evening no details beyond jail record were available regarding the circumstances for each.

Chester Sonnier Jr., 38, of Bunkie was charged Friday evening with second-degree murder. A convicted felon on probation, he had no bail set.

Not long after midnight Saturday Ere’onia White, 23, of Alexandria was charged with attempted murder 2 and resisting arrest. Her bail is $250,500.

On Thursday evening Kaleb White, 17, of Alexandria was charged with attempted murder 2 and obstruction of justice by evidence tampering.

That was later altered to accessory after the fact and obstruction. His bail is set at $200,000. 

Whether there is relationship between the Whites was not available information.

Sonnier has Rapides arrests dating to at least early 2021, including firearms and drug charges.
