On a June morning in 2015, 46-year-old New Orleans Police Department veteran Daryle Holloway was shot and killed inside his police SUV at about 8:00 a.m. He was transporting a prisoner, 22-year-old Travis Boys, who had been arrested earlier on an aggravated assault charge. While handcuffed behind his back, Boys managed to bring his hands to the front, produce a .40 caliber handgun that had been missed during the initial arrest, and shoot Officer Holloway from the backseat. The vehicle then crashed and Boys fled, but he was captured the next day.

Boys was tried on first-degree murder, aggravated escape, and weapons charges. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity; a jury rejected that defense in March 2018 and found the 35-year-old guilty of first-degree murder. He received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. The officer who made the initial arrest, Wardell Johnson, later pleaded guilty to malfeasance and obstruction of justice for failing to search Boys properly and attempting to cover up the error; Johnson was sentenced to five years in prison. The Supreme Court denied a later petition by Boys challenging jury selection.

Did anyone know Officer Holloway or have details about the transport procedures used that morning?
