Attempted Carjacking Suspect Shot To Death In Raceland



An attempted carjacking in Raceland late Sunday ended in the death of one of the alleged suspects, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.



Deputies said Elgin Bailey, 24, of Raceland, was shot to death by Kyle Orgeron, of Larose.



Orgeron called 911 at 11:29 p.m. saying he had shot a man who tried to rob him and steal his car. Orgeron said he and his girlfriend were driving back from Morgan City when they ran into a ditch. Two men helped him get his car out of the ditch and then asked for a ride.



Orgeron told deputies that his girlfriend was driving when one of the men allegedly pulled a gun and told her to stop the car. As Bailey tried to grab the car keys, Orgeron shot him in the chest and the second man ran away, Orgeron told deputies.



Detectives are trying to identify the man who fled.



No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing.
