Lafayette Police Search For Robbery Suspects

Lafayette Police were called out to investigate after two people were robbed at gunpoint, and one victim was shot last night.

Police say the victims were walking in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 173 South Beadle Road when the suspects came up to them.

One of the suspects held the other victim at gunpoint, demanded his property, then allegedly shot him three times.  The victim is in critical condition at a local hospital.

Freeman is wanted on a charge of attempted first degree murder and armed robbery, while Jones has a warrant out on a charge of armed robbery.

Freeman is from Lafayette, while Jones is from Carencro.
