The Lafayette Parish Sheriffâs Office is investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred Monday in the 300 block of Marigny Circle.
Deputies say the crash claimed the life of 67-year-old Sheina Evans.
When deputies arrived, they say that Evans was found injured near a vacant vehicle.
LPSO Detectives say they learned that Evans was allegedly struck by the vehicle while standing outside her residence.
The suspect had reportedly fled the scene on foot.
The driver, identified as 32-year-old Jose Vazquez-Tursios, was located and returned to the scene of the crash where he was arrested.
Two people were injured after a shooting in north Lafayette Parish.
Lafayette Parish Sheriff s deputies were called at about 2 a.m. Tuesday to a shooting in progress in the 100 block of Parklane Road, which is near East Gloria Switch Road, said spokesperson Capt. John Mowell.
When deputies arrived, they found one person inside a house who had been shot. That person was taken to a local hospital.
A second person was being held hostage by the suspect, later identified as 42-year-old David Kissel, inside a camper on the property, Mowell said. Negotiators were talking with Kissel, but members of the SWAT were forced to enter the home because the second person s health was deteriorating.
