Leon Paul Lirette was a 22-year-old native and resident of Houma, south Louisiana, whose life ended in February 2005. His killing later became linked by authorities to Ronald Dominique of Bayou Blue, who investigators said preyed on vulnerable men by luring them with promises of sex, money, or drugs and then killing them, often leaving bodies in remote locations such as cane fields and near bayous.

A key surviving witness, Ricky Wallace, described being approached, offered a ride, and taken to a trailer where Dominique tried to persuade him to be tied up; Wallace resisted and survived. Wallace’s account helped steer investigators toward Dominique, who was arrested on December 1, 2006. Court proceedings identified Lirette among several Terrebonne Parish victims; Dominique later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a deal that avoided the death penalty and was sentenced to eight consecutive life terms, with relatives present as the judge read the victims’ names.

If anyone knew Leon Lirette, his routines, associates, or has information about where he was in February 2005, please come forward.
