Church Point men wanted in Dec. 14 shoot-out
Police in Church Point are looking for two men in connection with a recent shooting in the Centennial Village housing area.
According to Chief Dale Thibodeaux, police received a call on Dec. 14 that someone had been shot on North Wilson Street. A nearby officer gave chase to a suspect vehicle, but lost it outside the corporate limits.
Officers located a juvenile male who had been shot in the buttocks. The juvenile was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police say two groups of people were shooting at each other, during which several vehicles and residences were hit. A total of 43 spent shell casings were recovered by investigators.
Thibodeaux said evidence obtained at the scene, along with other information revealed the identity of the suspects.
CPPD has obtained arrest warrants for two adult suspects and warrants are being requested through the juvenile court for several other individuals, according to the chief.
Davontae Mott, 22, and Darrion Bradley, 18, are wanted on one count each of attempted second-degree murder, illegal discharge of a firearm and aggravated criminal damage to property.
Police said Bradley is also suspected in another shooting in Church Point and is facing charges of assault by drive-by shooting in that incident.
Both should be considered armed and dangerous, Thibodeaux said.
Several more arrests are pending in the Dec. 14 shooting, according to Thibodeaux.
