As police are still looking for a man wanted for second-degree murder from a Dec. 26 incident, the identity of the person shot to death has been released.

The Iberia Parish Coroner’s Office said Jermaine Riles, 49, was shot to death on the 100-block of Dark Alley.

A Daily Iberian reader said Riles, “Made it a point to say good morning every morning he saw me, and now he’s gone. This world is a crazy place. Prayers for Jermaine’s family.”

New Iberia Police are looking for the suspect, Stevie Jay Vital, 36.

Vital has arrest warrants on the charges of second-degree murder, illegal use of firearms, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Vital has an extensively violent history and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said, and added anyone knowing the whereabouts of Vital are urged to call 911.

Police called the incident a “domestic-related homicide.” The relationship between Vital and the Riles is being withheld at this time.
