UPDATE (6:00 p.m.): ABBEVILLE, La. (KLFY) — Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Eddie Langlinais says the vehicle involved in a homicide investigation was found at the corner of South State Street and Ninth Street.

The initial incident happened on South Guegnon Road. Someone called thinking some jumped out of or was thrown from a vehicle, but when deputies arrived they realized the person was shot multiple times Langlinais said.
