It’s highly unlikely Kearrious McCoy will have a chance to run again.

McCoy, 24, of Vicksburg, MS when booked July 25 on a fugitive warrant and facing seven attempted murder charges and other felony allegations, is in Rapides lockup under $4 million bail.

His woes began with an alleged multi-parish rampage in May. After allegedly stealing a car in Evangeline Parish he and the car were spotted about 10 p.m. on a parking lot at La 112 and I49.

Before officers arrived McCoy allegedly approached another vehicle and, waving a gun, demanded its driver get out.

The driver told police later that McCoy pointed the weapon at him but it did not fire. They then struggled and the victim was shot in the arm.

Police said McCoy then shot at three others on the parking lot as well as at the original vehicle. A dog in that vehicle was killed.

One of the trio fired back and McCoy fled east on La 112 toward Forest Hill in that person’s vehicle.

At 112 and US 165 in Forest Hill he ignored a roadblock and attempted to ram several responding police cruisers.

The chase was on – through McNary, Glenmora and Oakdale – with McCoy’s stolen vehicle disabled in Kinder.

He fled on foot and evaded capture until about 9 the next morning when the armed suspect was captured after a struggle close to a nearby rail track.

He was booked in Rapides with detainers from Allen, St. Landry and Evangeline Parishes.

Available online records do not reflect when or how he became a fugitive.
