UPDATE, 4 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 16: Police have charged the 18-year-old involved in the shooting with negligent injury. He has been identified as Jyron Johnson.
Just before 1 a.m. Thursday, Lafayette police responded to a call of shots fired on the 400 block of Martin Oaks Drive.
Detectives believe the possible drive-by shooting was in response to another shooting Monday night on Rue Viansa where a juvenile was injured.
CORRECTION: Lafayette Police said that only the juvenile was struck by gunfire. A previous version of the post reported that the 18-year-old was also shot, which was inaccurate. This post has been corrected.
