Dalvin Mullens, a 31-year-old Black man, was found dead in a coulee south of Abbeville, Louisiana, on July 8, 2024. Authorities initially treated the discovery as a suspicious death; the Abbeville Police Department later classified it as a homicide as detectives developed the case.

Investigators say video footage played a key role in identifying people involved and led to two arrests and a warrant for a third person of interest who remained at large. Prosecutors have focused on 57-year-old Carlton Eugene Hills of Abbeville. According to the charging account, Hills shot Mullens multiple times with a 9mm pistol in front of several witnesses, including a child, then ran over Mullens’ body, wrapped it in a blanket, placed it in a car and discarded it from the South Guegnon Road bridge into Youngs South Coulee. Police also reported finding the bloody firearm during a search of Hills’ home.
