Seventeen-year-old Katelynn Strate of Ponchatoula, Louisiana, was killed in a road rage shooting on the morning of August 24. Strate was seven months pregnant and was a passenger in a Ford Expedition when an encounter with a silver Dodge truck driven by 54-year-old Berry West escalated; reports describe tailgating and brake-checking before West fired a single round that struck Strate in the head. The Expedition’s driver rushed her to a nearby hospital and called 911.

Medical teams performed an emergency cesarean section and delivered a baby boy who survived. Despite efforts to save her, Katelynn died; her family consented to organ donation. Barry West was arrested and is charged with second-degree murder, plus three counts of attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, and obstruction of justice. West told investigators the other vehicle shot at him first, but no weapon was found in the Expedition.

Are there witnesses who were on Old Hoover Road that morning or anyone with dashcam or surveillance video that could shed more light on the sequence of events?
