Robbery suspect shoots accomplice while fleeing

Two Lake Charles men have been arrested in connection to a home invasion on April 6 that resulted in one man accidentally shooting the other, said authorities.

Lake Charles police said that two armed men entered a residence in the 2700 block of Church Street that morning, demanded the victim’s personal property and then fled the home. Lt. Richard Harrell said the victims then heard a single gunshot coming from behind the residence and that police were notified about a man arriving at a local hospital with a gunshot wound.

Harrell said that as the two home invasion suspects, identified as Walter Williams, 20, of 1325 Mill Street, and Dontae Scott, 20, of 906 Martha Street, were fleeing, Williams’ firearm discharged and struck Scott in the abdomen. He said that Scott is currently listed in stable condition and that his arrest for home invasion, armed robbery and illegal possession of a stolen firearm is pending. Judge David Ritchie has set Scott’s bond at $500,000.

Williams was arrested and charged with home invasion, armed robbery and negligent injury. His bond was set at $450,000.
