Louisiana State Police investigators are now investigating after a cop killed a suspect in Cut Off Tuesday.
"At approximately 1:00 p.m., Detectives assigned to the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations were called to investigate a shooting incident involving the Port Fourchon Harbor Police Department and Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office," Trooper Ross Brennan said in a news release.
He says around noon on Tuesday the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office received a call about an armed man involved in a domestic disturbance at a residence in the 200 block of West 133rd Street.
"Upon arrival, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies and an officer with the Port Fourchon Harbor Police Department were fired upon by a subject at the residence," according to Brennan. "This resulted in the Harbor Police officer discharging his service weapon and striking the subject who was later identified as 32-year-old Geraldo Reyes of Cut Off."
Reyes died at the scene. No cops were injured during the incident.
"Louisiana State Police is the lead investigating agency into this officer-involved shooting and the scene is being processed by the Louisiana State Police Crime Laboratory. The investigation remains active and ongoing. Further information will be released as it becomes available."
