Beau Plaisance, 40, was shot dead on October 4, 2021, at a residence on West Main Street in Cut Off, Louisiana. Deputies found his body near the back door after his girlfriend, who witnessed the shooting, called the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office. Plaisance died from a gunshot wound to the head following an altercation at the home.

Authorities identified Rogelio Xavier Ledezma as a suspect and said he was believed to be armed; a search for him ended with his arrest later that day. Investigators say Ledezma admitted to the shooting during a recorded interview, moved Plaisance’s body with the intention of burying it, and returned the shotgun used in the incident to a gun cabinet in an apparent effort to conceal the crime.

If anyone has information about Beau, the events at the West Main Street residence that day, or saw anything unusual in Cut Off around October 4, 2021, please come forward.
