A Lake Charles man has been arrested for attempted second-degree murder after allegedly firing multiple times at an occupied vehicle.

Lake Charles Police Sgt. John Russell said officers were dispatched Sunday night to the 1000 block of Fall Street in reference to a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, officers learned an occupied vehicle had been shot multiple times and the occupants had left the scene and driven to a local hospital.

Officers learned there were three occupants in the vehicle, and one of them suffered a gunshot wound. The victim of the gunshot wound has been treated for their injuries, Russell said.

During the course of the investigation, detectives obtained statements leading to the identity of suspect Keyanski Thomas.

On Tuesday, members of the LCPD SWAT Team located Thomas at a residence in the 6700 block of U.S. 90 in Lake Charles.  

Thomas was arrested without incident and is charged with three counts of attempted second-degree murder.  His bond was set at $600,000 by Judge Tony Fazzio.  

This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with additional information is asked to contact lead detective Sgt. Willie Fontenot at 337-491-1311.
