At approximately 3 p.m. on July 13, 2026, sheriff’s detectives, along with members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force, were conducting a law enforcement operation in the Rutland Road area to arrest a wanted fugitive when an officer-involved shooting occurred.

After a lengthy standoff, the suspect, who sustained injuries, was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Because the incident remains an ongoing joint investigation involving the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and Louisiana State Police, no further information will be released at this time.

According to authorities, any future updates will be provided by the FBI.
