A family argument in Chackbay, Lafourche Parish, on December 30, 2014, ended with 22-year-old Rashaud Benoit Gasery shot and later dying of his wounds. Deputies arrived about 6:45 p.m. and found Rashaud had been struck by a single bullet that entered his arm and chest; he was taken to a local hospital and succumbed to his injuries.

Rashaud’s 30-year-old brother, Johuan Gasery of Vacherie, was present and initially told investigators the shooting was accidental, saying he fired once into the ground and that the gun discharged again when he tried to throw it. Detectives found that account inconsistent with scene evidence and the victim’s wounds; investigators determined shots were fired at two separate locations and believe Rashaud was fleeing during the altercation. Johuan was arrested and booked on second-degree murder with bond set at $1 million.

Does anyone in the area remember the Gasery family or have information about what led to the argument?
