On the evening of September 23, 2014, 14-year-old Cameron Tillman was shot and killed inside an abandoned house on Kirkglen Loop in the Village East neighborhood of Houma, Louisiana. Deputies from the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of several people possibly armed inside the vacant home. Deputy Preston Norman entered the house and, according to law enforcement, encountered Tillman holding what appeared to be a handgun; Norman fired, striking Tillman multiple times in the torso. The weapon was later identified as a pistol-like BB gun and Tillman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Louisiana State Police led an investigation and the case went to a grand jury in March 2015; after three days and witness testimony the grand jury declined to indict Deputy Norman. Tillman’s parents filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit naming the sheriff, Deputy Norman and another deputy, noting forensic testing on the BB gun showed DNA from at least three people while State Police reports confirmed Tillman’s fingerprints on the weapon. The FBI monitored the initial investigation for possible civil-rights issues.

Are there details about the night or the house that anyone in the area can add to help clarify what happened?
