Abbeville Police say they were called to the 1600 block of Martin Luther King Drive for reports of a shooting. While on the way, they saw a vehicle speeding with emergency flashers on, and it turned out to be someone rushing one of the victims to a local hospital.
Two men were wounded in the shooting; Jarrian “Nu Glizzy” Bernard, 20, was shot three times and died last night. A second victim, a 26-year-old man, was shot twice and is listed in stable condition at an Acadiana hospital.
During their investigation, officers learned that a large group was shooting dice under the pavilion at the Herod Village Apartments when one player pulled out a gun that had been illegally modified to give it fully automatic capabilities. That man fired a couple bursts, and hit the two victims.
That investigation yielded a suspect, D’Jacqney “Poppy” Mitchell, 20, who is wanted on warrants accusing him of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
