Two Eunice men face several charges including attempted murder and armed robbery in a home invasion on J.R. Road near Eunice.
Darius Kain Bruno Bazile, 19, and Isaiah Bradley, 17, were members of a group of males armed with guns who entered a residence around 2 a.m. and took turns beating the owner with their guns and shouting “where is the money?” a news release from St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said.
The group stole the cell phones from the occupants of the house, which included the owner and three other victims, one of which is several months pregnant, Guidroz said.
The owner was treated broken jaw, collapsed lung, and a fractured eye socket sustained from the beating, he said.
After the group left the house the house was shot with a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol, Guidroz said.
Investigators recovered casings and a lead projectile in the living room floor, he said.
The owner identified the group as members of the Eunice gang, “Goons for Life,” Guidroz said.
