Detective David Frances Michel Jr., 50, was killed during a traffic-related subject stop in Harvey, Louisiana, on the late afternoon of June 22, 2016. Assigned to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Unit, he began a stop near Manhattan Boulevard and Ascot Road. A struggle ensued with the person he had stopped, and the individual produced a handgun and shot Detective Michel multiple times; the shooter continued firing after Michel fell.

Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, where he died of his wounds. The shooter fled on foot but was captured shortly afterward and charged with murder. Detective Michel had served nine years with the department and is survived by his wife, mother, and son.

Does anyone have memories of Detective Michel or information that could add context to that day?
