A two-year-old narrowly missed being shot Wednesday evening, after a man fired multiple bullets into a crowd of people standing outside of a small apartment building in Slidell.
Slidell Police arrested 35 YO Kevin Roberts on Thursday and charged him with six (6) counts of Attempted First Degree Murder and one (1) count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Around 10:40pm on Wednesday, November 17th, Slidell Police responded to the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Eighth Street, after receiving reports of gunfire in the area.
When officers arrived, they discovered six frantic victims outside of a small apartment building. One man was suffering from a gunshot to his leg, but the others were miraculously unharmed.
One of the six innocent bystanders was a 2-year-old child.
The gunshot victim was expected to make a full recovery.
The alleged motive for the shooting stemmed from a disagreement earlier the same day.
Roberts was booked into the Slidell City Jail and was transferred to the St. Tammany Parish Jail.
