LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) UPDATE: “I got the phone call to get here because they found him dead, and when I got here, it was true, and they say he shot him in the head, so whoever shot him wanted him dead.”

Lex Benson is the long time girlfriend of Loveless Willis. She says he was the one shot and killed inside his Duson apartment Tuesday night.

“He was quiet. He stayed to himself, so for this to happen to him, it shouldn’t have.”

Benson said Willis leaves behind five children and parents.

“Why him? He didn’t bother nobody.”

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office did not make any arrests as of news time and are asking for witnesses to provide suspect information.

“There’s a lot of information that we don’t share early in the investigation, but we always do ask anybody who was in the area of the 100 block of Marigny to please contact us,” said LPSO Spokesman John Mowell.

According to Benson, the people who may know the most were in a compact car. The passenger was a man, and the driver was a woman.

“Whoever she is. She’s the last person to see him alive.”
