Chief Tim Lentz announces that the Covington Police Department is investigating an overnight shooting that left one victim hospitalized and two people in police custody. Officers responded to a report of gunfire at an apartment complex on S. Jefferson Avenue and found multiple shell casings.
Detectives believe the shooting related to an attempted drug deal gone wrong and that two 18-year-old males met Kayla Clark (21 from Covington) to buy drugs. Something went wrong and Andre Waters, Jr. (22 from Madisonville), believed to be Clark's boyfriend, fired approximately three shots into the vehicle, striking the driver once. He was found shot to his upper body and was transported to North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond, where he is currently listed in stable condition. Waters has been charged with Attempted First Degree Murder and Clark has been charged with Attempted Distribution of Schedule I Narcotics and Principal to the crime of Attempted First Degree Murder.
