Opelousas Police Detective Sgt. Mike Hidalgo returns to Crime
Stoppers to ask your help in solving a double homicide on Ina Claire
Drive.
On December 1, 2022, Opelousas City Police Officers responded to a
report of gunshots in the 1200 block of Ina Claire Drive. The first
officer on scene observed a red Chevrolet Cruze with Military Honors
License plate MH15670. This vehicle was parked in the driveway of
1222 Ina Claire Dr. Apt. 467. The vehicle had numerous holes from
gunfire, determined to be both entrance and exit holes. Within the
car were discovered Samijah Leday and Alexie Joubert who died from
several gunshot wounds. At the scene were located more than 50
fired casings from a .223 / 5.56mm weapon. An exhaustive
investigation has been conducted, with numerous search warrants
and forensic examinations of electronic devices. Despite all this, we
need additional, verifiable information that will allow law
enforcement to conclude this case.
