One man has been booked and Ascension Parish sheriff's deputies are searching for five others after responding to reports of shots fired late Tuesday night, Chief Deputy Bobby Webre said. <\/p>\n
Deputies arriving at the area of Josh Brown Road and Bishop Woods Road found a blue Oldsmobile Cutlas in the road with both passenger-side tires shot out, Webre said in a news release. <\/p>\n
Detectives learned that two men, later identified as Quanmaine Scott, 22, and Joseph Pindexter, 24, both now being sought, had gotten out of the car and began arguing with four other men, including Arthur Braxton, 28, and Tyrone Wenzy, 35, Webre said. <\/p>\n
At some points shots were fired; none of the men were injured, Webre said. <\/p>\n
Wenzy surrendered to officers Tuesday night and was booked into the parish jail on four counts of attempted second-degree murder, aggravated damage to property, and illegal use of weapons. <\/p>\n
The Sheriffs' Office is searching for Braxton, Poindexter and Scott, each of whom will be booked in the incident, Webre said. Two other men, both unidentified and who were at the scene, are also being sought, he said. <\/p>\n
The case remains under investigation and more charges may be made, Webre said. <\/p>\n
