KENNER- Police arrested a Montz man in connection with an accidental shooting that left a Laplace man dead, according to Kenner PD spokesman detective Brian McGregor.
Michael Wallace Dunn, 22, was arrested for negligent homicide and illegal possession of firearm after he shot and killed Perry Victor, 31, of Laplace with a stolen handgun, police said.
According to police, Saturday morning around 2:45 a.m., Dunn was sitting in the backseat of Victor’s vehicle at Chell’s Daiquiris on Airline Highway in Kenner “pointing the stolen gun in an unsafe direction, and attempting to unload it, according to Dunn; the gun discharged striking Perry Victor in the back.”
Victor was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
“Prior to seeking medical assistance for the Perry Victor, Dunn then threw the gun from the vehicle which was later recovered,” said McGregor.
Police determined that Dunn was in the rear seat of the vehicle. Officers found the weapon and determined the .22 caliber gun was stolen in St. Charles Parish in 2005.
