Lake Charles Police have arrested a 20-year-old Welsh man in an early Wednesday morning shooting at the VVS1 Hookah Lounge that left eight people injured.

Deputy Chief Franklin Fondel said Damien Deshone Guidry Jr. has been booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center on seven counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of inciting to riot (serious bodily injury).

Judge Tony Fazzio has set a “no bond” order on all counts.

Fondel said detectives have located a gray Buick Enclave, driven by Guidry to the 500 block of Broad Street prior to the shooting. Upon obtaining a search warrant the vehicle was processed by LCPD evidence officers and detectives and a .223 riffle and .762 riffle were recovered from the back floorboard of the suspect vehicle.

Fondel said when officers responded to the shooting at about 1:35 a.m. Wednesday, they discovered multiple gunshot victims and were told others were transported by private means to local hospitals for treatment.

Fondel said Acadian Ambulance transported one victim to a local hospital and LCPD patrol officers transported two others.

Fondel said there are eight known victims — two who have been treated and released from local hospitals, three remain in critical condition and three who are in stable condition.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact lead Det. Sgt. Kevin Hoover by calling 337-491-1311.
