On Christmas Day 2014 in Lafayette, Louisiana, 23-year-old Wilbert Simon was shot multiple times in the torso in the 100 block of Elenore Street and pronounced dead at the scene after officers arrived. Reports say the shooting followed a dispute with another 23-year-old man, Chesmond Paris, also of Lafayette, who allegedly drew a firearm and fired. A bystander who tried to intervene was wounded by a gunshot to the foot.

The Lafayette Police Department later issued a warrant charging Chesmond Paris with second-degree murder. Paris turned himself in the day after the shooting and was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on Elenore Street or has information about the events that led to Wilbert Simon’s death, please come forward.
