St. Mary Parish Detectives are still searching for a Lafayette man wanted for his alleged involvement in a shooting and kidnapping in Bayou Vista last weekend.
The incident happened on Saturn Road around 12:29 A.M. on Saturday when reports were made involving a woman with a gun shot wound.
Detectives also learned that Derrick Lee John Williams Jr., 20, took a 1-year-old child from the residence and fled.
A level II Endangered Missing Child Advisory was issued on behalf of the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office by the Louisiana State Police.
Later on that day, the child was found safe.
