On Decemebr 5th, 2022 Damian Fitch was taken into custody by the Terrebonne Parish S.O. during a traffic stop. Fitch was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex for Attempted Second Degree Murder as per warrant. We would like to thank the Terrebonne Parish S.O. for their assistance with the arrest of Fitch.
On December 4th, 2022 at approximately 11:30am the Houma Police Department responded to a local medical facility where a victim arrived with a gunshot injury to the abdomen.
The victim was found to be a 46 year old male and is expected to recover from his injuries.
Upon arrival officers learned that the incident had occurred in the 100 block of New Orleans Blvd at which time officers responded and located the crime scene.
The investigation revealed that there was some type of disagreement that took place between the victim and his brother-in-law Damian Fitch 27 years old. During the argument Fitch brandished a firearm and started shooting in the direction of the victim. As the shots were fired the victim was only shot one time in the abdomen and the suspect discharged the weapon until it was empty of ammunition. The victim was then able to get the weapon from the suspect and at that point the suspect fled from the scene.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Damien Fitch for one count of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder.
