Man turns himself in to police in connection to ZaZa’s Lounge shooting in Abbeville
Kalen Christopher Cormier turned himself in at the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center after learning there was an arrest warrant issued for him by the Abbeville Police Department.
Cormier was charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities. All five charges are felony charges.
Cormier’s alleged attempted murder charges relate to the shooting in front of ZaZa’s Lounge on the La. Hwy. 14 Bypass in Abbeville. The shooting took place on Feb. 24, 2023.
When police arrived at ZaZa’s Lounge, they located around 120 casings and learned four people had been shot, along with four vehicles.
Officers determined Cormier was one of the alleged shooters because of surveillance video from The Family Dollar, located next door to the lounge.
