The father and daughter gunned down as they entered their LaPlace apartment Tuesday night (May 29) have been identified as Cameron Mack, 29, and Cali, 4. according to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office.
Authorities suspect a lone gunman opened fire on Mack as he and Cali walked up the stairs of an apartment in the 100 block of Joe Parquet Circle about 9 p.m., according to St. John Sheriff Mike Tregre. Mack and his family, including another daughter and the children's mother, had just returned from a trip to the grocery store.
"She had made it to the top balcony of the apartment already when the gunman opened fire on both Cali and Cameron," Tregre said of the woman.
The gunman slipped into the darkness behind the apartment building and fled. Authorities not have not yet made an arrest in the case.
A deputy dispatched to the scene put Cali into his patrol vehicle and drove her to the nearby Ochsner hospital in LaPlace, Tregre said. Cameron was taken by ambulance to a helipad and transported to University Medical Center in New Orleans.
Both died shortly after arrival at the hospital, authorities said.
Detectives believe that Mack was targeted, according to Trege. He and his family had just moved to the apartment from New Orleans about two weeks ago.
Trege woudn't go into detail about whether Mack identified his killer or provided a description, but noted investigators believe the suspect may live nearby.
"We need to hold (further information) close to the chest right now," Tregre said.
The sheriff called Mack and Cali's killings vicious and senseless. Any person who takes the life of a 4-year-old, as well as her 30-year-old father, is a threat to everyone, Tregre said.
"We the community, the sheriff's office, working together, let's solve this crime. Let's solve this case and give Cali and Cameron the justice deserve," he said.
