Kernell Harrell reportedly died after shooting himself during a nearly 6-hour standoff with the New Orleans SWAT team. Harrell barricaded himself inside a room at the New Orleans Inn at around 9 a.m. Harrell was wanted in connection with the death of his girlfriend, Melissa Hunter, 23, who was shot and killed the previous week in Desire. SWAT commander Capt. James Scott says Harrell refused to surrender and insinuated he had a hostage, though it was later determined that Harrell was alone. Harrell allegedly told police he was suicidal and asked to speak with his mother during the negotiations, but officials said they generally do not allow communication with family during standoff situations. Harrell reportedly remained armed throughout the standoff, but at no time did he point the weapon at law enforcement, Scott said. Some of Harrell's family members gathered just down the street from the motel. Initially believing Harrell had surrendered, they screamed in horror when they learned he'd been shot—with some accusing police of shooting him. Scott reiterated that the gunshot wound was self inflicted. Harrell was rushed to the hospital where he later died.

Bianca Davis was shot and killed after police sprayed mace into a crowd after reports of a fight—police said officers fired no shots; two witnesses filed reports stating that police did fire shots, including one witness who said he saw an officer shoot Davis by mistake. The fight broke out at a party held at The Casino Lounge on Main Highway. After officers on the scene sprayed mace into the crowd, "the first shots rang out," St. Martinville Police Chief Calder Hebert said. Herbert denied that any of his officers fired shots during the gunfire that left former Ragin' Cajuns basketball star Bianca Davis dead. The next day, two people filed reports saying that an officer fired shots. A security guard at the lounge, Dequincy Lewis, said that he saw a St. Martinville police officer fire the shot that hit Davis. "He wasn't aiming to shoot at anybody," Lewis said Monday. "(He came) around the corner shooting wildly thinking he was shooting at the people shooting at that truck, but he made a mistake and hit that girl." Police arrested twin brothers in connection with Davis's shooting; Herbert said they didn't have any physical evidence linking Jakil or Jamir Sophus, but relied on witness statements to connect the brothers to Davis' death.
