An Opelousas man is behind bars after the suspect allegedly shot his own cousin during an argument over a Playstation at a home in the 1300 block of Artigue on July 8th.

In a press release, Opelousas Police say the male victim suffered serious injuries after being shot multiple times. His cousin - 23-year-old Quintaz Guillory - was identified quickly and found about a block away by officers minutes after they arrived on scene. Turns out, Quintaz Guillory has been involved in other incidents involving firearm-related crimes and was wanted by other agencies. He faces charges of Attempted Second Degree Murder and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.

Officers say they were able to find the 22 caliber handgun that was used in the shooting.
