Lance Hudson, 32, was found in his vehicle in the 300 block of Morse Street in Lafayette on August 31, 2016, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Lafayette Police identified three suspects and charged all three with second-degree murder. Damal Duhon, 19, and Frederick Lawrence, 18, were taken into custody in the days after the killing. A third suspect, 18-year-old Tyron Coates, was at large and authorities asked the public for help locating him.

Reports later say a man identified as Tyron Coates, then 23, was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Lafayette on January 23, 2022; official confirmation tying that man to Hudson’s case has not been released. The records available do not provide details about trials, convictions, or sentences for Duhon or Lawrence.

Does anyone have information about Hudson’s case or the whereabouts of others involved at the time?
