Travin K. Smith, a 30-year-old resident of Labadieville, Louisiana, was fatally shot on April 16, 2021. Deputies from the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office found Smith dead on Violet Street; two other people were wounded and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Detectives identified 30-year-old Ronald Vallejo as the suspected shooter and secured an arrest warrant after Vallejo fled the area. U.S. Marshals captured Vallejo in Harris County, Texas, in September 2021, and he was extradited to Assumption Parish. On December 6, 2021, a grand jury returned a true bill charging Vallejo with first-degree murder of Smith, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and illegal possession of stolen firearms. Vallejo was held in the Assumption Parish Jail without bond and the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office was set to prosecute.
