Warren Gary, a 60-year-old lifelong resident of Jennings, Louisiana, was shot and killed while he slept at home on November 15, 2016. A longtime deputy with the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office and later a city inspector, he also served as a deacon at the Christian Family Fellowship Church of Christ. The killing shocked the small community.

Investigators identified Gary’s 17-year-old grandson, Parker Gary, as the primary suspect. Parker was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and held without bond. A friend, 17-year-old Ryan Cole, was implicated in the initial burglary.

Parker Gary later pleaded guilty and received a lengthy prison sentence; Ryan Cole was also prosecuted in related cases. If anyone knew Warren, Parker, or Ryan, or has information about the burglary and shooting, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
