Lake Charles, LA – On Friday, January 10, deputies from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a convenience store on Highway 90 East in Lake Charles following reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, deputies began their investigation and spoke with the complainant, identified as 29-year-old Quintin M. Brown, a resident of Lake Charles. Brown reported that an unknown man, later identified as 26-year-old Kadrian A. Davis, exited the store brandishing two handguns and opened fire on Brown’s vehicle.
In response, Brown, who was armed himself, reportedly fired two rounds back at Davis. During the initial investigation, Brown suggested that the event was a random act of violence with no personal connections to the suspect.
Later that day, law enforcement located Davis at his residence, where he was arrested and subsequently booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. He faces multiple charges, including illegal use of a weapon, aggravated assault with a firearm, and aggravated criminal damage to property. Judge Tony Fazzio set Davis’s bond at an amount of $250,000.
Detectives continued their investigation, which revealed inconsistencies in Brown’s statement. Evidence indicated that Brown had initiated a conflict with Davis at a different location before the shooting occurred. Following this discovery, a warrant was issued for Brown’s arrest. He was apprehended later that same day at his residence and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. Brown now faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and obstruction of justice, with his bond set at $350,000.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident; however, three vehicles sustained damage: the two suspects’ vehicles and an additional vehicle that was not involved in the altercation.
The investigation remains ongoing, and further arrests may be forthcoming. Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Tony Jones was the arresting deputy, while Detective Shane Broussard is leading the investigation.
An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
