Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a Houma man is being sought for four counts of attempted murder following a shooting incident in Thibodaux on Tuesday. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Nehru Davis, 23.

At 12:15 a.m. on August 1, 2023, deputies responded to a call of gunshots at an apartment on Meadow Circle in Thibodaux. Several rounds struck the front door and a window of the apartment. There were several people inside the apartment including three children.
