Multiple people are being treated after an overnight officer-involved shooting in Downtown Lafayette where an eyewitness says he "heard around 20 shots."
The mysterious death of a successful Lafayette oil and gas man has been covered by ABC's 20/20, Dateline NBC, Vanity Fair, and numerous True Crime podcasts because the truth in this case if truly stranger than fiction.
The New Orleans Police Department investigating a shooting, unfortunately, is nothing new these days. However, responding to a call of someone shot in the buttock, that's probably not as common.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz said his office was notified just before 1:30 am that a male subject was dropped off at a local hospital with a gunshot wound. The man later died from his injury.
When officers arrived at the residence, located in the 1500 block of Montagne Street, they found the victim laying on the floor with gunshot wounds inside the home.
