Four of five suspects in a shooting outside Saracen Casino on Thursday night have surrendered to police, said a spokesman for the Pine Bluff Police Department.

The fifth suspect, Tirek Langel, 22, is scheduled to surrender Wednesday, said Lt. David De Foor, a police spokesman.

He said Brandon Burnett, 27, surrendered Monday.

De Foor said Burnett and Langel fired shots at security guards, based on surveillance video and witness statements. De Foor said Burnett and Langel will be charged with first-degree battery and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.

De Foor said he didn't know which gunman fired the shot that hit a security guard.

De Foor said the other three suspects -- Kuro'n Lavell Brown, 21, Joshua McAfee, 27, and Dontarious Slater, 26 -- surrendered Friday. Evidence and witness statements confirmed their statements that they did not shoot, and all three were released, De Foor said.

After being ejected from the casino, the five men shot at security officers in the parking lot, wounding one. Three of the security guards returned fire, according to police.
