Chief Jimmy Travis says that the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying any suspects connected to a shooting that occurred west of Hammond.
A man was sent to the hospital in critical condition two weeks ago after multiple gunmen ambushed his vehicle while driving in the Baptist area.
Deputies say they were dispatched to Coleman Park Road Friday night, April 29, in reference to a shooting.
A victim on the scene, identified as C.L. Parker, was found inside a vehicle in the ditch suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Travis says that the victim’s black Audi Sedan had bullet holes throughout the vehicle. Deputies say that Parker lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a neighbor’s vehicle and into the ditch as the unknown gunmen fired while he was driving.
Those with information about the incident are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-554-5245.
