Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of a Raceland man for attempted murder in connection with a shooting that occurred on October 12. Curon Ross, 20, was taken into custody Friday morning.

At around 1:25 p.m. on October 12, 2026, deputies responded to a call that a 20-year-old male had been shot in the 100 block of Brocato Lane in Raceland. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found a white sedan which had been struck by apparent gunfire. Deputies identified the vehicle’s owner and learned her boyfriend had been inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting. He suffered gunshot wounds to both arms and was airlifted to a hospital.

Through investigation, Ross was identified as a suspect in the shooting, and detectives obtained a warrant for his arrest and search warrant for his residence. On the morning of Friday, October 30, deputies made contact with Ross at his home, and he was taken into custody. During a search of the home, deputies found an illegally altered firearm. Ross was transported to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux for booking. During booking, correctional officers located suspected marijuana and Suboxone concealed on his person.

Ross was charged with attempted second degree murder, taking contraband to a penal institution, possession of Suboxone, possession of marijuana, and possession of an illegally transferred weapon. Bail is set at $1,081,000.

This investigation is continuing, and additional charges are pending.
