On the evening of April 6, 2017, 22-year-old Cody Lastrapes was fatally shot in the 2000 block of Tulip Street in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Lastrapes was in a vehicle with three others when occupants of another car opened fire; his three companions were injured. Investigators recovered 79 shell casings from four different firearms at the scene.

Police later determined Lastrapes and his friends were not the intended targets. The apparent target was 19-year-old Deon T. Demourelle, who was nearby when the shooting began and became involved in a gun battle. The Lake Charles Police Department’s probe led to indictments: JKristopher D. Scott, 19, and a 16-year-old, Jamar Harmon, were charged with one count of second-degree murder and three counts of attempted second-degree murder, with the district attorney moving to try Harmon as an adult. Demourelle was indicted on illegal use of weapons and obstruction of justice charges.

Are there details about that night or the people involved that anyone in the area can add?
