On the night of Saturday, January 23, 2021, 37-year-old Kelly J. Dougie Guidry was ambushed and shot multiple times near the intersection of North Market Street and Cheney Street in Opelousas, Louisiana. Neighbors and a nearby officer heard the gunfire; Guidry was found near the railroad tracks and investigators recovered more than twenty .223 and 5.56 shell casings at the scene, suggesting semi-automatic rifles were used.

Investigators identified two suspects, Marcus Chenier, 24, of Opelousas, and Jevon Figaro, 23, of Lafayette. The men bought one-way plane tickets to Las Vegas soon after the shooting. Chenier was arrested in Las Vegas and Figaro later surrendered; both were booked into the St. Landry Parish Jail and charged with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and criminal damage to property, and Chenier also faced a felon-in-possession firearm charge. At trial the prosecution presented flight records, cell phone records and testimony from a cooperating witness; after under two hours of deliberation the jury found both men guilty of second-degree murder, a conviction that carries a mandatory life sentence.

Are there details about Kelly Guidry’s last hours or anyone who saw activity near North Market and Cheney on January 23 that could help clarify what happened?
