Alexandria, LA, for release (10/29/26)
On October 28, 2026, at approximately 7:45 PM, officers with the Alexandria Police Department responded to the 1300 block of Fenner Street in reference to a reported shooting.
Upon arrival, officers learned that one individual had sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives confirmed that the shooting victim had recently been a defendant in a murder trial that resulted in a mistrial. Following the mistrial, the defendant was released on bond, rearrested on another charge, and then released on his own recognizance.
As part of the ongoing investigation, detectives are examining whether this shooting was an act of retaliation connected to the victim’s involvement in the previous homicide case. While investigators are actively pursuing that possibility, no motive has been definitively established, and all investigative avenues remain under review.
This is currently an ongoing investigation.
