Ascension Parish sheriff’s deputies are looking for two men wanted in an armed robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder in the Darrow area early Monday.
Deputies said Tuesday that Calvin Adams III and Kevin Ross Jr. orchestrated “a targeted attack” on a man in the Astroland neighborhood off La. 22.
The man, who was not identified, was not injured, deputies said in a statement. It’s not clear what led to the kidnapping charge.
Deputies arriving at the scene of the shooting at Galaxy and Neptune boulevards in Astroland found several shell casings and other evidence around 9 a.m. Monday indicating a shooting occurred earlier. Â
Adams, of Convent, and Ross, of Monroe, are wanted on the following counts, deputies said: attempted first-degree murder, illegal use of weapons, armed robbery, armed robbery with a firearm, second-degree kidnapping and criminal street gangs and patterns of criminal street gang activity.
Deputies did not provide a motive for the shooting.
