Detectives Attempt to Identify Suspects in Shooting

On February 6, 2010, at approximately 3:10 am, officers with the Lafayette Police Department responded to the 2000 block of the NW Evangeline Thruway regarding a shooting. The victim, a 19 year old female of Lafayette, was riding in the rear of a vehicle when the suspects drove along side in a green Buick, traveling southbound on the NW Evangeline Thruway. The suspect(s) shot approximately 9 times into the vehicle, striking the victim in the leg. The suspects fled the area and the victim was transported to an area hospital where she was treated and released. It is believed that the shooting stems from a disturbance that occurred earlier at a convenience store at the intersection of Chalmette and Frontage Road. The suspects are described as three black males, one with a Mohawk and two with dread locks. The suspects were possibly wearing black t-shirts with the logo "G M T".
