We start off in Louisiana as two prison transport guards have shot and killed an inmate who was attempting to flee.

Now, state police are investigating. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. In a news release from Lt. Jared Sandifer, state police say the incident happened on US-61 in West Feliciana Parish, close to the Mississippi state line. According to a Facebook post by Catahoula Parish Sheriff Tony Edwards, as correctional officers Mark Cagle and Johnny Nelson were escorting two prisoners from the Central Louisiana facility to Baton Rouge for court, one of the prisoners staged a seizure as the van approached St. Francisville. Edwards says that when the officers pulled over the van to assist the prisoner, 46-year-old Raymond Huddleston of Baton Rouge jumped out and attacked them both. Edwards also detailed how Huddleston attempted to take Nelson's gun and struck both officers while the firearm was still in its holster. The sheriff stated that

Huddleston then dropped the weapon and attempted to flee in the van's driver's seat, but both officers were able to fire at him, quote, in order to stop the threat of injuries to the other inmate and or other people. Our friends with the Advocate newspaper are reporting that Huddleston died from the gunshot wounds. The Sheriff's Office has announced that it was unclear which officer fired the shot that killed the inmate. Following medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, both officers were discharged from a local hospital. Arrest documents reveal that Huddleston was taken into custody by Baton Rouge police in March 2023 on one count each of aggravated kidnapping, domestic abuse battery, strangulation, obstruction of justice, possession of a firearm,

or carrying a concealed weapon by a person convicted of specific felonies, resisting an officer, and illegal possession of stolen firearms. The other inmate in the transport van was reportedly not injured in the incident. Following the shooting of a woman in what authorities believe to be an incomplete suicide agreement two friends had made some weeks prior, another Utah woman has been placed under arrest on murder charges. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Sumner. 21-year-old Heavenly Faith Garfield was taken into custody and is being held without bail in Utah County. It has been recommended by Saratoga Springs Police that Garfield be charged with both murder and discharge of a firearm. It was just before 3.30 p.m. on April 30th

According to an affidavit of probable cause, he said that his daughter shot the 21-year-old victim around 10.45 a.m. that morning as part of a suicide pact. In the affidavit, family members report that Garfield and the victim had been talking about the deal for a fewm. that morning as part of a suicide pact. In the affidavit, family members report that Garfield and the victim had been talking about the deal for a few weeks. Also in the affidavit, details of how the victim's friend received texts from her in which she expressed her desire to die but said she was too afraid to kill herself. That friend also informed authorities that the victim

and Garfield had made a suicide deal. The victim's identity is still unknown. Thanks, John.
