On November 10, 2018, 23-year-old Zachary Kyle Swanson was fatally shot while hog hunting in the Honey Island Swamp near Slidell, Louisiana. Zachary, a Pearl River resident, was hunting with his friend 22-year-old Donald Jones when Jones fired at what he believed was a hog and the bullet struck Zachary. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office reported Jones knew Zachary was not wearing hunter’s orange but did not know his exact location at the time of the shot.

Jones told wildlife officials the shooting was accidental but was taken into custody and charged with negligent homicide in connection with Zachary’s death.

Does anyone have information about that day in the Honey Island Swamp or recall seeing the hunters before the incident?
