Darel Roy III, an 18-year-old African American male, was killed in a shooting in New Iberia, Louisiana. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 300 block of Julia Street, near the intersection of Julia and Washington Streets and about a block from the Iberia Parish Courthouse. After initial treatment at the scene he was taken to Iberia Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The homicide prompted an early investigation in which authorities identified two suspects, both 14-year-old boys. The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office said one of the juveniles was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder; law enforcement continued searching for the second 14-year-old. The community reacted with shock and sadness after the teenager’s death.
