LORANGER — Tangipahoa Parish deputies are searching for a suspect accused of shooting a man in the leg during an armed robbery at a Loranger trailer park. 

According to deputies, 21-year-old Azurian Ashton is wanted for attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery and patterns of criminal street gang activity following a Sunday shooting along North St. Charles Avenue.

Deputies arrived at the trailer park to find one man shot in the leg. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment, where he remains, deputies noted.
