PRAIRIEVILLE - Detectives are investigating after a man was found shot to death in a vehicle along Interstate 10 eastbound in Ascension Parish.

The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office says State Police found the man, Chakerus Hamilton Jr., 20, around 3:30 a.m. and notified deputies. Online traffic sites Friday showed officials working an incident between Bluff Road and the La. 73 exit at Prairieville.

Details are limited; investigators say the man was found with fatal gunshot wounds.

In 2021, a Zachary man was found shot to death and another was wounded in the same area, but in the westbound lanes. Deputies said it was a retaliatory shooting.  

This is a developing story.
