On the evening of Sunday, July 24, 2022, 25-year-old Davin Dwight Labranch Jr. was shot and killed on LA 3127 in Hahnville, Louisiana. Labranch had driven to a gathering at the Killona Volunteer Fire Department after receiving a call asking him to pick someone up. As Labranch and a friend left the party with three passengers in Labranch’s 2008 gray Audi A5, shots were fired. Deputies reported evidence suggesting an exchange of gunfire between someone inside Labranch’s car and an unidentified second vehicle.

Labranch was found deceased inside his car around 8:00 P.M.; two other occupants suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to a local hospital, while a third passenger was uninjured. Detectives searching the vehicle recovered a large amount of cash and narcotics. The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office says the case remains an open, unsolved homicide and has asked the public for information.

If anyone has information about Labranch, the shooting, or the vehicles involved, please share it with investigators.
