A man and woman were fatally shot in the front yard of their home following the Krewe of Hercules parade in Houma on Friday. Lieutenant Blake Tabor with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office says the shooting happened in the 300 block of Willowdale before midnight …
“Unfortunately they were discovered by family members. Our patrol division quickly responded. We located the bodies of an adult male and an adult female who died from obvious signs of gunshot wounds.”
The victims were returning home from the parade when gunfire erupted. Tabor says this was a senseless act of violence.
“This is the type of behavior in our community that we’re not going to stand for. As a sheriff office, we have to take these types of acts of violence personally and we’re going to do everything in our power to bring justice to the families that are suffering because of this.”
Tabor says authorities are asking for the public’s assistance as the suspects remain at large. He says they will bring justice to those affected by this act of violence.
“We’re working tirelessly to develop evidence, witness statements, and any other facets we can find but again we’re working very diligently to try to bring a quick resolution to this case.”
