NEW ORLEANS — Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced Friday that three individuals, including a 16-year-old, have been charged in connection with a shooting last Thursday night in Raceland that left two people injured.
Authorities responded to reports of a shooting in the 100 block of Brooklyn Lane around 9:30 p.m. on December 5. Detectives determined that Kayleigh Gregoire, 19, of Houma, and another woman allegedly lured a 17-year-old male to the scene under the pretense of a sexual encounter. However, investigators say Payton Scott, 18, of Bayou Blue, and a 16-year-old male had planned to rob him.
When the victim arrived, Scott and the juvenile confronted him, both armed. Gunfire was exchanged, leaving the 17-year-old grazed on his hand. He received treatment at a local hospital and was later released. The other female involved was struck twice and was airlifted to a New Orleans hospital, where she remains in critical but stable condition.
Scott and the 16-year-old were charged with attempted armed robbery and use of a firearm in an attempted armed robbery. Scott was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux, with bail set at $150,000. The juvenile was placed in the Juvenile Justice Facility in Thibodaux.
Gregoire faces charges of principal to attempted armed robbery and principal to attempted armed robbery with the use of a firearm. Her bail is also set at $150,000.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be filed, authorities said.
