A domestic dispute in Opelousas, Louisiana, turned deadly on the evening of April 27, 2022, on Mia Street. During a confrontation sparked by an argument between Holly Roberts and her next-door neighbor, two men identified as Davieontray Breaux and Felton Martin James arrived at the neighbor’s home and opened fire. The shooting killed 46-year-old Alton James Thomas and a four-year-old girl; three other juveniles were wounded.

Law enforcement later identified three suspects. Felton James Martin was taken into custody in the Baton Rouge area, and a search was conducted for a second suspect named Devantre el Bro. A St. Landry Parish Grand Jury subsequently indicted Davieontray Breaux, Felton Martin James, and Holly Roberts on two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder. The three were scheduled for arraignment in July 2022.
