Jennifer Lumissa D’ene Hurst was 18 when she was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a vehicle at an apartment complex in the 300 block of McDonald Street in Lafayette, Louisiana, in the early morning of May 15, 2021. She was taken to a local hospital but died of her injuries after being discovered about 2:30 a.m.

Investigators focused on her 19-year-old boyfriend, Lucas Williams, after witnesses at the scene identified him as the shooter. Williams later turned himself in to authorities and was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; he was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. The investigation and legal process are ongoing.
