Trooper Damon L. Robichaux, 30, died on the morning of July 21, 1982, after an accidental shooting at his home in Baton Rouge. He had been recalled to duty for an escort assignment and, while preparing to leave, his revolver slipped and hit the floor; the impact caused the weapon to discharge and a single bullet struck him in the chest. Emergency surgery followed, but he died about two hours later.

Robichaux had served with the Louisiana State Police for four years, nine months, and five days and was assigned to Troop A. The incident was ruled an accident and no suspects or arrests were involved. He was survived by his wife and children.
