Brothers’ battle turns deadly in Pineville, million-dollar bail for accused shooter

Murder suspect Steven Bush

By JIM BUTLER

Brothers sometimes argue. Fortunately they usually work it out without violence. Such wasn’t the case Wednesday afternoon in Pineville.

Police responding to a shots fired call in the 200 block of Lee Street (between Lakeview and Sanders Streets) found Jacquez Burks, 20, wounded.

He later died at a hospital.

According to police “Quez” and half-brother Steven Bush, 18, were arguing when Bush shot him.

Investigators did not release information regarding the subject of the dispute.

Bush is charged with Murder 2 and evidence tampering with bail set at $1,025,000.
