In a tragic sequence of events that unfolded across Lafayette Parish on October 4, 2022, a 25-year-old woman named Paige Lewis lost her life. Her death was part of a violent rampage that left two others dead before the suspect took his own life. The day of violence began when authorities started investigating a series of fatal shootings that spanned from Duson to Lafayette.
Paige Lewis was found shot and killed outside a residence on Toby Mouton Road in Duson.
She was known to the perpetrator, though the full extent of their relationship has not been publicly detailed. The incident that claimed her life was just one part of a larger, tragic narrative of domestic violence that spiraled into a public shooting spree. Her nine-year-old son was a witness to her death.
The suspect in the killings was identified as Andrew Felix. His violent actions on that Tuesday also resulted in the deaths of his estranged wife, 43-year-old Kawanna Kay Felix, and 29-year-old Ross Chaisson. After carrying out these brutal acts, Andrew Felix fled to a family member's home.
As law enforcement closed in, the tragic day came to a grim conclusion. Before he could be apprehended, Andrew Felix took his own life. The series of events left a community in mourning and three families devastated by the sudden and violent loss of their loved ones. In the aftermath, there were no arrests to be made, as the sole suspect was deceased.
