There was another shooting in Bogalusa.
50 YO Veronique Allen, a bystander and not an intended target, was killed when shots were fired in the 1400 block of Main Street. Bogalusa Police said Allen was pronounced dead when they arrived at the scene.
The Louisiana State Police, Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, and federal authorities are assisting the Bogalusa Police Department.
Bogalusa Mayor Wendy Perrette praised the quick response of law enforcement and asked for the community to remain calm after the apparent drive-by shooting on Tuesday. Perrette said the devaluing of human life in the name of the drug trade and gang allegiances should never happen anywhere, and the people of her community are fed up.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Bogalusa Police Detective Division at (985) 732-6238.
