HAMMOND - Deputies arrested a man Tuesday for his involvement in a home invasion that left a father dead and his 12-year-old daughter in critical condition

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office said the attack, which stemmed from a robbery, happened around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 at an apartment on Rufus Bankston Road in Hammond. The department said it initially received reports that three to four men armed with guns forced their way into the apartment.

While deputies were on their way, shots were fired inside the home, according to the department.

When they arrived, they found 33-year-old Donte Perry shot to death inside the apartment. His daughter, who appeared to have been shot multiple times, was taken to North Oaks Hospital in Hammond before being transferred to a children's hospital in stable condition.

Tuesday, Omarion Hookfin was arrested and booked on one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of armed robbery and two counts of aggravated kidnapping. 

Chief Deputy Jimmy Travis told WBRZ that the girl had at least 10 bullet wounds, a combination of entry and exit wounds. Travis said investigators suspect the robbers intended to kill the 12-year-old so she wouldn't be able to help to identify them. The girl's condition is reported to be "improving daily."

Two other children, a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old were inside the house at the time. 

Travis also reports the investigation is still ongoing, as the department is searching for two or three other suspects that may have been involved in the crime.
