A man from Donaldsonville, Louisiana, is now behind bars after being accused of attempted murder. The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested 39-year-old Fondell Joshua on Monday and charged him with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and illegal use of weapons.
According to deputies, the incident unfolded Monday morning when Joshua allegedly shot his dating partner. The victim was rushed to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover, authorities said.
This isn’t Joshua’s first run-in with the law. Records show he previously faced a domestic abuse battery charge.
