Kyla Lenee Hidalgo was 17 when she was killed in Westlake, Louisiana, on July 15, 2020. A Westlake High School student who enjoyed theater and archery, Kyla was shot multiple times in the early morning hours along with her 18-year-old boyfriend, Kaleb Charlton; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Their mother, Catherine Hidalgo, suffered life-threatening gunshot wounds but survived. A 911 call from the Hidalgo home captured Catherine reporting that 51-year-old Neil Patrick Broussard, a convicted sex offender and family acquaintance, was inside the house and pleading for the children’s lives before the line went silent.

Broussard allegedly kidnapped Kyla’s 14-year-old sister and fled in the family’s vehicle; the girl was later found safe and the car recovered after Broussard was arrested the next day. Authorities also arrested Broussard’s wife, 41-year-old Tori Lynette Broussard, alleging she knew of her husband’s intentions and assisted him. Both were indicted on two counts of first-degree murder; additional charges against Neil Broussard include attempted first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The district attorney announced an intention to seek the death penalty for Neil Broussard and pretrial legal battles over evidence and statements have been underway.

Does anyone have information about Kyla’s activities or acquaintances in Westlake in the weeks before July 15, 2020?
