The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office says a man suffered a graze wound and another man is locked up after a crash led to a road rage shooting.
"Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a Bayou Blue man has been charged with attempted murder for shooting another man following a hit-and-run crash," Lieutenant Brennan Matherne said in a news release. "Larry Dunn Jr., 41, was arrested following the shooting incident on Tuesday night."
He says it started around 8:00pm Tuesday night.
"Investigators learned a man in his 20s was traveling east in his pickup truck with one passenger on Bayou Blue Bypass Road when Dunn, driving a white SUV, struck the victim’s truck while passing him. Dunn did not stop or slow down, and the victim followed the SUV."
The Lieutenant says that the pickup driver followed Dunn after he fled the scene. Dunn allegedly turned around and started to drive back toward the pickup.
"The victim stopped his truck, and as Dunn passed him, a single shot was fired from the driver’s side toward the victim. The round struck the door of the truck and proceeded to the interior, grazing the victim’s torso. The injury was not life-threatening, and the victim declined medical treatment."
Matherne says deputies responded with officers with the Thibodaux Police Department.
"Deputies encountered Dunn who was armed with a handgun and standing behind his vehicle. Dunn initially resisted deputies’ commands, but deputies were able to convince Dunn to drop the firearm and surrender. He was taken into custody, and the firearm and other evidence were collected at the scene."
They took the 41-year-old man from Wisconsin into custody.
"Dunn was arrested and booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex. He was charged with Attempted Second Degree Murder, Hit-and-Run Driving, and Resisting an Officer. He is being held without bail."
Dunn has an extensive criminal history.
