Teen charged with attempted murder charge in ZaZa’s Lounge shooting
The Abbeville Police Department arrested and charged 19-year-old Tavian Young of Abbeville with attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a firearm.
His total bail was set at $500,000.
According to Abbeville Police Chief Mike Hardy, the charges stem from the ZaZa’s Hookah Lounge shooting on 1600 block of Veterans Memorial Drive on Feb. 24.
Four people were injured in the shooting that night.
At least a couple hundred people were gathered outside for an after party at the lounge and the adjacent parking lot, he said.
That weekend, the shooting prompted Hardy to implement a citywide curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. in an effort to bring a recent spate of shootings under control.
Anyone with further information about the shooting is asked to call the Abbeville Police Department at (337) 893-2511 or the department’s anonymous tip line at (337) 892-6777.
