Twenty-eight year-old Durray McZeal was at a party at a Lake Arthur Community Center late Friday night when police say 26- year-old Kurt Dugas allegedly struck and killed McZeal, and then fled the scene. The impact was so fierce, it knocked McZeal's clothes off, and threw his body about a hundred feet. As of press time, the Sun Times has been told that Dugas is being held in the Jeff Davis Parish Jail for hit and run, vehicular homicide, and his second count of DWI. McZeal leaves behind a son who will be two in December. The Sun Times will report more on this story as details become available.
