Moss Bluff man charged with domestic violence in connection with shooting

MOSS BLUFF, La. (KLFY) — A Moss Bluff man is being held without bond in connection with a shooting in a domestic dispute, authorities said.

Christopher W. Jones, 56, of Lake Charles, is charged with domestic abuse battery with a dangerous weapon with serious bodily injury.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched at approximately 11:30 p.m. Sunday to a residence in Moss Bluff in reference to a shooting.

Detectives spoke with several witnesses who said Jones was responsible for the shooting. Detectives also said Jones admitted that he fired the weapon at the unidentified victim inside the residence during a heated argument.

The victim was taken to a local hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, authorities said.

Jones was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. Judge Tony Fazzio ordered he be held without bond pending a Gwen’s Law hearing. Gwen’s Law is a Louisiana law that mandates a hearing before bail is set for individuals arrested on certain domestic violence-related charges.
