Yesterday, the Pineville Police Department was dispatched to the 2900 block of LA 107 in response to a family disturbance.
Unfortunately, after numerous attempts to bring calm to the situation, a person lost his life in an altercation with Pineville Police officers.
Pineville Police Chief Darrell Basco has asked Sheriff Mark Wood and the Rapides Sheriff’s Office to investigate with assistance from the Alexandria Police Department the incident for transparency to the community.
Chief Basco also notified District Attorney Phillip Terrell and his office, who are also reviewing the incident.
Future releases on the progress of the investigation will be made by the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The loss of a life is always tragic and we pray for the family and for our officers who were involved in this horrible incident.
