Late on the night of November 9, 2024, gunfire erupted outside KOK Wings and Things on University Avenue near the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The shooting left 26-year-old Corey Mouton dead at the scene; 24-year-old Jamir Carmouche was taken to a hospital and later died. Two other people were critically injured. Witnesses said a heated argument involving several people preceded the shooting, and investigators concluded Mouton had been the intended target while the others were likely struck in the ensuing crossfire.

The Lafayette Police Department arrested two men from St. Martinville in the days afterward. Twenty-six-year-old Dylon Doucet was booked on first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder charges. Twenty-six-year-old Trevon Charles was booked on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder. The community held a candlelight vigil to mourn the victims and call for an end to gun violence.

If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Corey Mouton, please share what you know with the Lafayette Police Department.
