On the evening of October 20, 2019, 22-year-old Tre’von Adams, a Black man, was found inside a vehicle on the 800 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Lafayette, Louisiana, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Officers responding to a call of shots fired pronounced Adams dead at the scene.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Bri’ani L. Doucet of Lafayette and charged her with second-degree murder; she was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. In February 2020 a Lafayette Parish grand jury declined to indict Doucet on the murder charge, leaving no active prosecution on that accusation.

The initial arrest and the grand jury decision leave open the question of who is legally responsible for Tre’von Adams’s death. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Tre’von, please come forward with tips that could help the investigation.
