Police seek suspects in shooting which left one dead

A 21-year-old Delhi man is dead following a drive-by shooting Wednesday.

Delhi Police Chief Roy Williams said Quatarious Jones, 21, of Delhi, was shot four times with an AR-15 around 5 p.m. July 13.

"The three young men were walking east on Second Street toward U.S. 80," Williams said. "When they reached the intersection of Charter and Second streets, a vehicle pulled up behind them. A black male got out of the rear passenger seat and fired six rounds from an AR-15."

Williams said four of the bullets struck Jones, killing him. The other two men sustained minor injuries. Police believe three or four people were in the shooter's vehicle.

"We have video from several people in the neighborhood and from a business," Williams said. "We're looking at that from every angle trying to get a license plate number for the vehicle to help track down the people who did this."

Williams said the vehicle used in the murder appears to be a 2015-2018 model black Chevy Tahoe with chrome rims.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the vehicle is asked to call the Delhi Police Department at 318-728-9834.
