Fugitive captured in Evangeline Parish
Theobegi Levier, wanted by Eunice police for an alleged attempted murder during a dope deal gone awry, was apprehended Wednesday in Evangeline Parish.
At mid-afternoon, authorities were transporting Levier to the St. Landry Parish Jail for booking.
He is accused of shooting an alleged dope dealer during a three-party transaction on Feb. 7.
He was in the backseat of a vehicle when he allegedly took out a handgun and shot the salesman, the bullet going through a non-critical portion of the victim’s head.
Levier was captured two days later by Opelousas city marshals, but escaped while being transported to jail.
Two days later, he eluded capture after being spotted at a Eunice apartment complex.
He is charged with attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery.
