Wayne Joseph Bourliea Jr., 36, was found shot multiple times inside the Z-Equipment store on Highway 190 in Hammond, Louisiana, on the morning of July 29, 2020. Deputies from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office responded after a caller reported a man lying in a pool of blood; the victim, an employee of the business, was identified as Bourliea.

Bourliea, known as Bubba, was a father of three, worked as an ironworker, and belonged to the Knights of Columbus. The shooter or shooters had left the scene shortly before deputies arrived. Investigators later arrested 61-year-old Dedrick Charles Labee of Tickfaw and charged him in connection with Bourliea’s death, including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and obstruction of justice.

If anyone has information about Bourliea, his movements that morning, or the events at the Z-Equipment store, please come forward.
