Two Juveniles Arrested in Louisiana for an Alleged Drive-By Shooting at the Intersection of Highway 3089 and Highway 70

Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre said on August 22, 2022, that on Friday, August 19 at around 9:40 p.m., deputies responded to a drive-by shooting incident in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, at the crossroads of Highway 3089 and Highway 70. Deputies interviewed a male subject upon their arrival, who told them that he and his passenger were stopped at an intersection when a suspicious car drove alongside his vehicle and opened fire.

Neither victim claimed to have been injured.

Deputies found two 17-year-old male suspects through further investigation. Both juveniles were apprehended and taken to the St. Bernard Juvenile Detention Center. They are charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, assault by drive-by shooting, illegal use of weapons, aggravated assault, and aggravated criminal damage to property.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
