A Lake Charles man has been charged with attempted second-degree murder in a Sunday shooting at a residence on La. 3059.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said deputies located the victim at about 3 p.m. Sunday suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.

“Deputies learned Ruben Acosta-Camacho, 45, Lake Charles, was responsible for the shooting, and had fled the scene prior to their arrival,” Vincent said.

Vincent said deputies located his vehicle at a business in Westlake and located Acosta-Camacho after canvassing the area where the vehicle was found.

He was transported to CPSO for questioning, where he confirmed to detectives he shot the victim.  He was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with attempted second-degree murder.  His bond is still pending.

The victim was transported to a local hospital for further treatment.

Det. Lauren Manuel is the lead investigator on this case.
