Authorities arrested one man and are seeking a second suspect in an unusual double shooting in Bridge City.

Darnell Phoenix, 21, of Bridge City, is accused of shooting a 42-year-old River Ridge woman who had armed herself to retrieve her son, whom Phoenix was holding at gunpoint, according to Glen T. Boyd, spokesman of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Phoenix, who suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen during the encounter, was booked Sunday (Sept. 18) with two counts of attempted second-degree murder and armed robbery, an arrest report said.

Investigators are also searching for Phoenix's alleged accomplice, Jordan Jones, 23. He is wanted on warrants for two counts of attempted second-degree murder, Boyd said.

The shootings occurred about 1 p.m. Sept. 11 in the 1400 block of Utah Beach Drive in Bridge City. The woman's 23-year-old was hanging out with Phoenix and Jones.

The woman's 23-year-old was hanging out with Phoenix and Jones.

Mommy's thug was hanging with two other thugs who pulled a gun on him so he calls his mommy to come save him. Mommy should have turned him and the other two across her knee right there on the street in front of everyone.

Actually she dropped the gun and her son picked it up and shot Phoenix. But I get your Marley reference.

Mommy’s little thug was cheated shooting craps
Smoking what? We don’t know
Jordan and Darnell whipped the jammy out
But mommy showed up for some blow...

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark

He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark...
