During a meeting on May 5, members of the Abbeville City Council shared their concerns about recent shooting deaths in the city.
Those concerns are now amplified after a shooting left 20-year-old Aaron Wallace dead early Tuesday morning.
Since April 2, there have been three homicides that have occurred in Abbeville.
Members of the Abbeville Police Department are working to solve all three. During Tuesday’s regular City Council meeting, Councilman Francis Plaisance said he knows that work is being done, but the numbers remain concerning.

India Dyson of Abbeville made her childhood dream come true last month by finishing the Louisiana Practical Nursing Program on the Gulf Area Campus in Abbeville.
Dyson was one of 40 graduates who celebrated last week when they received their nursing pins. But what makes Dyson’s pin ceremony different is that it almost did not happen.
Out of 40 students selected to begin the program, she was the last student selected.

There’s a new pond in downtown Abbeville, at least for the moment.
Numerous people have taken notice.
Councilman Brady Broussard Jr. called it a “Gold Fish Pond.”
It’s located at the corner of Pere Megret and Main Street.
To be clear, while it has a nice design, it’s not a designed pond. It is part of the Streetscape beautification project that will be filled in, but in the mean time is collecting water after a rainy day.
