The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting in the Oakland Crossing neighborhood in Prairieville as well as a string of vehicle burglaries.
It happened around 10pm on Jan. 2nd.
APSO officials say it appears two unknown men were breaking into a vehicle when the homeowner noticed. When the homeowner went outside, the suspects fled in their own vehicle. While fleeing, one of them fired multiple rounds hitting the homeowner’s wife.
She was grazed by a bullet and she did take herself to a hospital. She had non-life threatening injuries.
During their investigation, detectives learned the suspect vehicle is described as a newer model compact black SUV. Detectives believe this vehicle and the suspects are linked to a string of vehicle burglaries that have occurred in Oakland Crossing and neighboring subdivisions.
