There is nothing worse then hearing about the loss of a loved one and when you hear that this death is of a child who hasn't fully lived their lives. It makes it even worse. According to the office of Deputy Chief Of Police Mark A. Kraus that was the case earlier this morning.

The news first came of a shooting on Rena Street and within the hour, it was reported that it was a 17 year old female who had died of that particular shooting. Now I don't want to speculate or assume anything, but this is the fourth day of gun fire here in Lake Charles and there needs to be something done to calm all of this down.

The name of the victim has not been released, but I am sure that once more details arise. We will be able to get the word out to you. Our prayers and thoughts are with the victim and her family.

 

*****UPDATE******

According  to the Lake Charles Police Department, they were contacted  in reference to the shooting that occurred earlier today. With assistance from a concerned citizen, they apprehended 18 year old James Lemarcus Freeman Jr who resided at the same address as the deceased. He has currently been placed under arrest and charged with 2nd degree Murder and 2nd Degree feticide.
