Madison Claire Olivier was 19 when she was shot and killed in New Iberia, Louisiana, on the late afternoon of Thursday, February 22, 2024. A lifelong resident and a 2022 graduate of New Iberia Senior High, she had recently been promoted to Assistant Manager at AMC Property Management and was remembered for her vibrant spirit and love of local Mardi Gras celebrations.

Police were called to the 400 block of Calhoun Street at about 6:12 p.m., where officers found Olivier suffering from gunshot injuries. Detectives identified 21-year-old Lamarson James Benoit as the primary suspect and obtained warrants charging him with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, illegal use of weapons, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and aggravated criminal damage to property; a probation violation was later added.

Benoit was booked into the Iberia Parish Jail on May 11, 2024. The community held funeral services for Madison in early March. If anyone has information about Madison, her movements that evening, or the events on Calhoun Street, please come forward.
