The Abbeville Police Department is investigating a shooting near Live Oak Apartments in Abbeville.
On Monday evening, at approximately 9 p.m., the Abbeville Police Department received multiple calls about shots fired at Live Oak Manor Apartment Complex.
Vermilion 911 called the Abbeville Police Department to advise they received a call from someone named “Jamal” stating that someone was in the field with a gunshot wound east of Live Oak Manor Apartments.

According to Vermilion Parish Sheriff Mike Couvillon, detectives have arrested a juvenile and charged several other juveniles (ranging between the ages of 15-17) over the recent thefts of off-road motorcycles and ATVs.
Detectives have completed an extensive investigation and sent case files to the District Attorney for prosecution.
The juvenile arrested has been transferred to the custody of the Office of Juvenile Justice.

After a three-week investigation of a bomb threat at Abbeville High School, the Abbeville Police arrested an Erath teen for allegedly making the threats.
The police department did not release the teen’s name because he is a minor.
Much teamwork went into finding the person who allegedly made the bomb threats.
With assistance from the Abbeville Police Department Patrol Division, Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Investigations Division, Erath Police, as well as Abbeville and Erath high schools, the suspect was identified.
