Lieutenant Glen Dale Hutto Jr., 45, was killed in the line of duty on April 26, 2020, after being ambushed while responding to a tip about a murder suspect’s location. A 21-year veteran of the Baton Rouge Police, Hutto and his partner, Corporal Derrick Maglone, were in the backyard of a Conrad Drive residence in the Howell Park neighborhood when the suspect fired with a semi-automatic rifle. Hutto was struck and then shot at close range; he died at the scene. Maglone was critically wounded.

Earlier that day, 58-year-old Curtis Richardson was reportedly shot and killed during a domestic dispute, which led officers to the Conrad Drive home. The suspect, identified as Ronnie DeWayne Kato Jr., barricaded himself inside after shooting the officers, prompting a four-hour standoff with SWAT before surrendering. Kato was later indicted on charges including two counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, among other offenses.
