Lafayette's KATC-TV 3 has an excellent rundown of the nearly two dozen lawsuits convicted murderer Brandon Scott Lavergne unleashed over the last two weeks.  After all, what else is the guy going to do while sitting in Angola State Penitentiary serving a life sentence? Lavergne pled guilty in 2012 to the murders of Mickey Shunick and Lisa Pate.

Lake Charles Police have released information on the arrest of Armonta Dquon Hadnot, the 18 year old suspect in the triple homicide that took place at McMillan Park, late Wednesday night.

Armonta DeQuon Hadnot, 18, is wanted by police as one of those responsible for the shooting death of three, at McMillan Park on Wednesday night (March 21).

According to KPLC, on Wednesday night (March 20) at around 11:30 p.m., law enforcement agencies responded to a shooting at McMillan Park on Goos Street next to the Sunlight Manor Apartment Complex on Winterhalter Street, in the area of Lake Charles immediately south of Interstate 10.

The case of the missing University of Louisiana Lafayette student Mickey Shunick will be the featured story on NBC's Dateline this Tuesday night January 29th.

In addition to the 1st homicide on Friday November 30th, LCPD issued another press release: Officers were dispatched on December 2, 2012 at 6:34 p.m., to 3214 Louisiana Avenue in reference to a shooting.

Although details are sketchy at the moment, several news outlets are reporting that a gunman has shot multiple people near the Empire State Building in Manhattan this morning.

America has been a nation of heavy hearts since a gunman opened fire on a movie theater during a midnight showing of ‘The Dark Night Rises.’ In light of the unspeakable tragedy, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw had an emotional stopover in Denver when they played the Sports Authority Field on Saturday night (July 21).

As we reported last week, Brandon Lavergne was indicted by a grand jury in Lafayette for the first degree murder of the still-missing Mickey Shunick. But in a shocking twist in the case, Lavergne was also charged with the first degree murder of Lisa Pate, an Acadia Parish woman who was found dead in 1999. Now the Lafayette Parish District attorney is saying that both cases may be tried together.

Miracles do happen. A church pastor who counseled parents post-Columbine has offered a detailed update about the status and prognosis of one of the victims of last week’s Aurora, CO massacre at a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ The victim survived due to a brain defect that she didn’t even know she had.
