The Houma Police Department is currently working on the homicide of Emmitt Carr Jr. (19 years old of Isabel Street) and asks that anyone with information contact the HPD at (985) 873-6371 or Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at (800) 743-7433.
On 6-26-21 shortly after 8 p.m., Houma Police responded to the 2600 block of Isaac Street in reference to a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a male, later identified as Emmitt Carr Jr, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Medical personnel responded and he was transported to the hospital for treatment.
During the investigation, investigators learned there was a “splash” party on Isaac Street where several people attended. As the party continued the crowd began to disperse and several shots were fired. Emmitt Carr Jr was struck multiple times, transported to a local medical facility where he had to be transported to an out-of-town facility for additional treatment.

At this point, investigators are requesting that anyone with information who attended the “splash” party contact the Houma Police Department. Investigators are in the process of interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence to identify the suspect(s) responsible.
