On January 26, 2019, Keith Michael Theriot, 50, was shot and killed at his home in Gonzales, Louisiana, during a multi-parish rampage that left five people dead. The attack began in Livingston Parish, where the shooter killed 20-year-old Summer Ernest, her 43-year-old father Billy Ernest, and her 17-year-old brother Tanner Ernest. The perpetrator then drove to his parents’ residence in Ascension Parish and shot both Keith and his wife, Elizabeth Theriot, 50.

Keith Theriot survived long enough to call 911 and identify his son, Dakota Theriot, as the shooter. Both parents were taken to a hospital and later died. Dakota, 21 at the time, fled and was arrested the next day in Warsaw, Virginia, at his grandmother’s home; he was extradited to Louisiana.

Does anyone have information about the victims’ last movements or knew them personally that could add context to what happened?
