Many, LA – A man is dead following a deputy-involved shooting earlier this month in Sabine Parish.
According to Louisiana State Police, the incident happened around 9:42 p.m. on Aug. 2 when Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to stop a subject near Many to serve a property ban notice linked to a prior incident. Authorities said the man refused to stop, leading to a pursuit that ended at his residence.
Investigators said the subject exited his vehicle armed with a firearm before retreating inside and barricading himself. Deputies established a perimeter and attempted hours of negotiations, but the man allegedly remained inside with the gun and two knives, refusing to surrender.
State Police said deputies gave multiple verbal commands before one deputy fired at the subject, striking him. Deputies reportedly provided aid immediately, and EMS transported the man to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
No deputies were injured during the incident. The Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations is leading the case, working alongside the Sabine Parish District Attorney’s Office. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities said more details will be released at a later time.
Anyone with information, photos, or video related to the incident is urged to contact Louisiana State Police Detectives.
