LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - One person is dead following a shooting at Suffolk Apartments on Lake Street early Monday morning.
A person making unauthorized entry into an apartment was shot by the renter, according to Capt. Kevin Kirkum, spokesman for the Lake Charles Police Department. The person later died from their injuries.
Lake Charles police received a report of a burglary and shots fired at 1:15 a.m., Kirkum said.

I don't understand why these apartments are still section 8/low income. It made sense years ago when they did it but this area is experiencing a lot of gentrification. Someone could clean up these apartments and do better than section 8 considering how much is changing in the area.

Once a building is section 8, it is kind of hard to undo it.
You can’t easily get rid of those tenants and very few quality tenants will pay to live next to them.

You'd be shocked how many Section 8 houses are in upscale neighborhoods.

If the have section 8, by definition they're not upscale.

It's a weird area. Bowtie marina with nice yachts but you have to drive through low income houses to get to it. The racquet club and lakefront with million dollar homes just a mile or so away. A fenced in low income hood behind the mall with high crime yet two new expensive waterfront neighborhoods around the corner from it. A brand new nice hotel right next door to this complex. A lot of nice businesses in the office complex and ghetto rim shops next to it.
Just strange.

This is a few miles from one of the few areas in LC with million dollar+ homes.

Sounds like Columbia
You go from straight up ghetto to Old Shandon (multi million dollar homes) in one block. You go from the ghetto LivePD blight that is Two Notch Rd to some very nice neighborhoods in Forest Acres/Arcadia Lakes, as well as Spring Valley a bit further NE on Two Notch.

And in Baton Rouge, you have Bawell Drive, which is straight ghetto, a block over from expensive-arse homes in Hundred Oaks.
Some of this is leftover from times when the rich lives in one neighborhood and the help lived nearby in a much shittier neighborhood.

I know a pretty white girl who lived there about 15 years ago. That area changed fast.

Zacly one block from my office, they parade through our parking lot hourly. Geovani St mall shutting down has helped
but they still migrate south daily.
Suffolk Manor was upper crust when i live here in 90-91, now it's messican cleaning peeps for the casina's primarily.

It's literally like walking through the gate between two universes at Glenmore and Wells

It died for a while because of the trash behind the mall but has been making a comeback. It's interesting for sure.

I had a friend living there in college around 98. It wasn't bad then but like 5 years later they went section 8.

At the same time i lived on 5th ave, completely ghetto now with plenty of shootings and apartment invasions.

Maybe THAT neighborhood is upscale but this one isn't.

My dad lived in the Bayou Pines apartments and Shadowood in the early 90s. Both used to be nice areas.

Actually, these apartments are becoming an anomaly for this area.

Also seem to be making a comeback slowly.

Anomaly or not, there is section 8 housing in this neighborhood. Therefore, this neighborhood isn't upscale. It may be mostly upscale, but it still has section 8 housing in it. Therefore, I wouldn't live there.
