Louisiana Authorities Asking for Assistance in Lake Charles Nightclub Hit-and-Run Investigation
Lake Charles, Louisiana – The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office revealed on October 17, 2022, that it is investigating a hit and run that occurred around 1:00 a.m. on the 11th of September, at a nightclub on Common Street in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
During the initial inquiry, officers discovered that a truck was backing into a parking space when it collided with a parked automobile. The driver did not stop after the crash. He drove out of the parking lot, through a stop sign, and proceeded south on Common Street. The truck is said to be blue or navy in color.
Detectives from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office attempted to locate the suspect's vehicle using various investigative techniques but were unsuccessful. They are urging anybody who recognizes the truck in the video or has information about the case to contact CPSO at (337)491-3605.
Sgt. Bryan Alexander of the CPSO is the case's lead investigator.
