CLINTON — East Feliciana Parish sheriff’s deputies are investigating a Thursday afternoon shooting that left one man dead, a spokesman for Sheriff Talmadge Bunch said.

Detective Don McKey said the shooting occurred about 5 p.m. at a residence on Shaffett Lane, off La. 957 northeast of Slaughter.

The victim, whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives, died at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center.

A preliminary investigation indicated the shooting victim was involved in an altercation with his former girlfriend at the residence and a relative of the woman is believed to have shot the man, McKey said.

No arrests had been made in the case by late Thursday, McKey added.
