Officers responded and aid was rendered to Michell. Because the scene was closely located near LHS, students were sheltered in place for a brief period of time.

At the time, Guillory was charged with Attempted Second Degree Murder. Now, with Mitchell's death, he faces the charge of Second Degree Murder while he sits in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. He is still awaiting a court date.
