On the evening of August 5, 2015, 29-year-old Shreveport Police Officer Thomas Joseph LaValley was killed while responding to a report of a suspicious person in the Queensborough neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana. A four-year department veteran, LaValley went to a residence where neighbors told him the person inside was wanted in connection with another recent shooting. After entering the home to confront the man, LaValley was shot multiple times and later died at a hospital.

The suspect fled but was located about a day later in a detached garage and taken into custody. He was charged with first-degree murder. LaValley had been born in Baton Rouge, had worked as a videographer for a local news station before joining the police, and graduated at the top of his academy class.

If anyone has information about Officer LaValley’s last call or the events at that residence on August 5, 2015, please come forward.
