A domestic dispute in Zachary, Louisiana, turned deadly on January 2, 2025. Thirty-four-year-old Jeremy Wright was helping a relative and her boyfriend move between trailers on Plains Port Hudson Road when an argument broke out with the boyfriend, 32-year-old Alex Senegal. Deputies from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office were called about 5:30 p.m.; witness statements say Senegal initiated the argument by accusing Wright of stealing his drugs and then allegedly produced a firearm and shot Wright multiple times.

Wright was taken to a nearby hospital with critical injuries and died of those wounds three days before his 35th birthday. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office has since obtained a warrant for Alex Senegal on charges of second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm; Senegal is currently wanted and authorities are asking the public for help locating him.

If anyone in Zachary or the surrounding area saw Wright that day or has information about Senegal’s whereabouts, please share what you know with law enforcement.
