Drive-By Shootings Rock Loranger Area
Over the weekend, Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office was called to investigate two alarming drive-by shooting incidents that took place in the Loranger area. The incidents occurred on Louisiana Highway 40 near the intersection of Louisiana Highway 445, sending shockwaves through the quiet community.
First Incident
The first incident occurred on Saturday, May 18, around 11:23 p.m. A victim reported to deputies that she was driving on LA-40 when she noticed a vehicle approaching from behind with hazard lights flashing. Concerned for her safety, the victim pulled over to the side of the road to let the vehicle pass. However, things took a terrifying turn when a small red car with tinted windows pulled in front of her and slowed down.
As the victim looked on in horror, she saw an arm extend from the front passenger window, holding a pistol. Shots rang out, aimed in her direction, as the perpetrator attempted to force her to stop. In a moment of sheer panic, the victim accelerated and managed to escape unharmed, but undoubtedly shaken by the traumatic experience.
Second Incident
Just two minutes later, another call came in reporting a similar incident on LA-40 east of LA-445. This time, a different victim recounted seeing an unknown Black man standing near a small red four-door car with hazard lights activated. As she passed the vehicle, gunshots rang out, striking her car. Miraculously, she too escaped unscathed, but the fear and uncertainty lingered.
Appeal for Information
Law enforcement officials are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings of a vehicle matching the description provided. Sheriff Daniel Edwards is calling on anyone with information about the suspects or similar incidents to come forward. You can contact Sgt. Wylie Foster at 985-748-3337 or reach out anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa at 1-800-554-5245 or through their website.
HPD Investigates Credit Card Theft
In a separate investigation, Hammond Police Department is looking into a case of credit card theft involving an online purchase of $13,000 worth of electrical wire from Home Depot. Detectives discovered a troubling trend where stolen credit cards are used to buy supplies from local retailers and then resold through a scam operation.
This sophisticated scheme has been reported in other areas, and authorities are working diligently to identify the culprits behind these fraudulent activities. If you have any information that could assist HPD in their investigation, please reach out to Detective Ronney Domiano or contact Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa.
Both incidents serve as stark reminders of the importance of staying alert and looking out for one another in our communities. By working together and sharing information, we can help keep our neighbourhoods safe from such criminal activities.
