On June 16, Port Barre Police had identified a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant in connection with a June 8 shooting on Osage Street.
18-year-old JaMarcus Jamaal Hardy of Port Barre is still wanted on a charge of attempted second degree murder, they say.
The shooting injured a "targeted" 17-year-old juvenile, Port Barre Police Chief Deon Boudreaux said.
Regarding the suspect, Chief Boudreaux said, "I want his family and friends to understand that obstruction of justice is a felony, a serious offense...turn him in."
Police say they responded to a shots fired call on the evening of June 8 and arrived to an unruly crowd of people in the street. According to PBPD, witnesses stated the shooting occurred during a physical altercation between two juveniles when a third person began firing. The alleged shooter left the scene before police arrived. The 17-year-old victim also left prior to officers arriving.
Anyone with information on Hardy's whereabouts is asked to contact PBPD at 337-585-6212.
"You can help stop this plague of senseless youth violence by stepping up and saying something," said Boudreaux.
