A dispute that began at a Waffle House in Gonzales, Louisiana, on the night of a graduation celebration ended in a fatal drive-by shooting on Interstate 10 near Prairieville around 2 a.m. A westbound vehicle carrying 20-year-old Dantrell Gibbs of Donaldsonville and two others was pursued by a white GMC Sierra whose occupants opened fire. The victims’ car returned fire, then exited the interstate to seek help. Responders found three people with gunshot wounds; Dantrell Gibbs died at the scene and an 18-year-old, Jermaine Trey James, later died of his injuries. A third occupant suffered non-life-threatening wounds.

Ascension Parish investigators recovered shell casings on the interstate and three firearms discarded at a nearby hotel. Arrests were made in Gonzales: Jakiryn Johnson, 19; Kavis Octave Jr., 17; and Taron Parker, 18. All three face charges that include first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, illegal use of weapons, assault by drive-by shooting, and aggravated damage to property. The sheriff’s office says the shooting was not random.

If anyone witnessed the pursuit or has information about the vehicles or the discarded firearms, please share what is known.
