On the night of October 25, 2016, a domestic dispute in Houma, Louisiana, ended with 17-year-old David Trahan Jr. fatally shot at a home on Bayou Blue. The shooter, identified as 42-year-old Rhubin Scott Jr., had earlier confronted his ex-girlfriend at her workplace and was removed. Later that evening the ex-girlfriend went to her mother’s house; Scott followed and opened fire. David Trahan Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene.

His sister and their mother were also shot; both survived, with the mother critically injured and the sister treated and released from hospital. Trahan was a native and resident of Houma. Scott was taken into custody by the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office and charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. Jurors heard voicemails Scott left for his ex-girlfriend threatening harm, and a Terrebonne Parish jury convicted him of second-degree murder after just over an hour of deliberation; formal sentencing was set for December 20, 2017.

Does anyone have information about David’s life in Houma or who might remember him?
