Quintail Credit was 26 when he was fatally shot multiple times in front of his family at his father’s home in Winnsboro, Louisiana, on the evening of February 20, 2019. He had been a former correctional officer at Richwood Correctional Center and was awaiting sentencing in May after pleading guilty to conspiring to obstruct justice for his role in a 2016 incident where he and other guards physically assaulted five handcuffed, kneeling inmates and used a chemical agent; reports say they then falsified records to cover up the assault. After his death, the legal case against him was abated, his guilty plea was vacated, and the indictment was dismissed.

Authorities arrested Charles Kennell III of New Orleans and charged him with second-degree murder; the Franklin Parish Sheriff said a motive was not known and noted Kennell was not one of the inmates who sued over the 2016 incident. Credit’s killing drew attention in Winnsboro, where the victim was connected by family ties to local law enforcement.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything the night Credit was killed that could help explain what happened?
