A family argument in Opelousas, Louisiana, ended with the death of 31-year-old Demitri Maurice Fontenot. The incident occurred in the 500 block of Narrow Street in late summer 2020; Fontenot was shot in the face during a physical struggle over a firearm and died on September 7, 2020, at Lafayette General Medical Center.
