Ville Platte Police Chief Neal Lartigue reports shots fired and requests information. On July 28, 2019 at approximately 2:44 a.m. Officers with the Ville Platte Police Department responded to a report of shots fired at a business located in the 200 block of Tate Cove Road. Upon arrival Officers discovered that numerous shots had been fired from the parking lot of one business towards multiple people and also the business located across Tate Cove Road. As Officers, Two Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Deputies and a Louisiana State Trooper began clearing the parking lot they were informed that two vehicles were damaged by bullets and two black males received injuries from gunfire. One male was shot in his lower torso and was transported from the Bunkie Hospital to Rapides Regional Medical Center and was released later that day. The second male was injured by a fragment in his lower torso and was treated at Mercy Regional Medical Center and later released. As the scene was being processed it was noted that there were multiple caliber casings found in the area which indicated multiple shooters. Detectives learned that shortly after numerous shots were fired a black male wearing dark jeans and no shirt, entered one of the businesses and was in possession of a firearm. Detectives are seeking information on the identity of this person. Detectives are also seeking to identify the driver of the white vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle. The vehicle may possibly have bullet holes in it. At approximately 3:45 Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 800 block of North Latour Street in reference to shots fired. Upon arrival Officers discovered two vehicles with damages received from bullets. Witnesses reported seeing a white four door SUV or truck in the area as shots were fired. At 5:30 in the evening Officers received a call that a black male was in the emergency room with a gunshot wound to his buttock area. The male was treated and released to follow up with a specialist. He also had multiple gun shots holes in his vehicle. Chief Lartigue would like to thank the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office and the Louisiana State Police for their quick response and assistance.
