The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's office says they are looking for 24-year-old Teaireius Brumfield and 21-year-old Darren James Rideaux, Jr. Both are being sought on Attempted Second Degree Murder charges in connection with a May 10, 2021 shooting incident.

LPSO says the victim in the shooting stated that the two suspects got into an argument with the victim in the 500 block of Scottsdale Street. Deputies say that as the victim was walking away, the two suspects fired shots at her.
