A fight broke out as Deputy Riley and Captain Brett Stassi, Jr. were questioning a guy in connection with an investigation into sexual assault.
The suspect took one of the deputies' firearms and started shooting before one of the deputies fired back at him, he shot both of them.
After being shot, the suspect—Latrell Mikal Ornee Clark—died at the scene.
After suffering severe injuries, Captain Brett Stassi Jr. is still in critical but stable condition.
One of the darkest nights in Iberville Parish's history, the horrifying episode started as a regular questioning connected to a sexual assault inquiry and ended at approximately 7:50 p.m.
Deputy Riley had been with the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Department for six years and was a veteran of the United States Navy. His wife and two daughters survive him.
Sheriff Brett Stassi, Sr. is the father of Captain Stassi. Many people who had the opportunity to meet Deputy Brett Stassi adored him.
As they all grieve the loss of one of their own and pray for another's recovery, their deputies are in great pain.
The investigation into this incident is being led by the Louisiana State Police. More details will be made public.
