One person died and another was wounded in a shooting that happened early Wednesday in Henderson.
St. Martin Parish Sheriff Becket Breaux says a suspect has been arrested, after he allegedly carjacked someone in Eunice and drove to Hammond before returning to St. Martin Parish.
The shooting happened around 7 a.m. in the parking lot of a business in the 2900 block of Grand Point Hwy.
Gage Quebedeaux, 21, was booked with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and violation of a protective order.
Deputies arrived at the scene and learned that a man, identified as Quebedeaux, followed two women to the parking lot and fired several shots into their vehicle. Both the driver and the passenger were hit by bullets, and one died later at a hospital.
The suspect then fled the scene, but deputies learned Quebedeaux traveled to Eunice, where he dumped his vehicle and allegedly carjacked someone nearby. He traveled to Hammond, then returned to St. Martin Parish via Interstate 10, where deputies arrested him at the Atchafalaya Welcome Center in Butte LaRose at around 1 p.m.
The sheriff said that the Henderson Police Department, the Eunice Police Department and the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office all assisted in the investigation.
