It's sad, but it's true. There was another shooting in the City of Abbeville. Lieutenant Jonathan Touchet says this shooting happened in the area of Maude Avenue and Schlessinger Street this afternoon.

While there is very little information at this time, Touchet says the victim of the shooting was a male juvenile who is being treated at an area hospital. He's a juvenile so they will not release any other information. They are continuing to investigate so please contact the Abbeville Police Department if you have any information about what happened.

While officers were called out to investigate today's shooting, they ended up arresting a person for an unrelated shooting.

When the police arrived on the scene they happened to see 19-year-old Jha'Juan Campbell. Campbell was wanted for a shooting on Monday, October 11. He was arrested on two counts of Attempted First Degree Murder. He was then booked into the Vermilion Parish Jail.
