One man was killed and another arrested after a fatal shooting at the Livingston Parish tourism office over the weekend, according to Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard.
Edward Paul Louque, a 68-year-old Walker man, was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center on a charge of second-degree murder, Ard said. He is no longer on the inmate list, according to online booking records.
The victim has been identified as Barry Roussel, 67, of Ponchatoula.
Authorities from the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Albany Police Department were dispatched to the tourist center around 4 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of a shooting.
The center is located on Catholic Hall Road, south of Interstate-12 in Albany.
“At this time, we have determined that this is a domestic incident,” Ard said in a statement. “Details remain under investigation. Medical officials confirm one man has died from his injuries.”
Although the shooting occurred within the Albany city limits, the Sheriff’s Office and the Albany Police Department are working together on this case.
