Dustin Hartline, 28, and his friend Raegan Day were killed after a meeting in February 2018 that turned into an ambush near Slidell, Louisiana. On February 15 they left Pearl River believing they would meet an acquaintance of Day’s, Brittney Savell, to discuss selling Day’s Camaro or a possible drug transaction. At a remote, abandoned property masked, armed attackers forced them from their vehicle at gunpoint and led them down a trail into the woods.

According to investigators, one of the assailants, Jason Landry, shot Hartline in the back of the head; in the chaos another attacker’s weapon accidentally discharged, wounding Landry in the foot, and Landry then shot Day in the head. The victims’ bodies were placed in Day’s Camaro, which was later submerged at the East Pearl River Boat Launch. The submerged vehicle was located on March 5, and the bodies were recovered.

Four primary suspects have been identified in connection with the kidnapping and murders. If anyone knew Hartline or Day, or has information about the meeting that brought them to that property on February 15, contact investigators with tips.
