Deputy Marshal Barry Giglio, 63, was shot and killed on July 31, 2023, while assisting the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office in serving a warrant at a home on West Beauregard Street in Ville Platte, Louisiana. The shooting occurred about 8:30 p.m. during a drug investigation; a man inside the home, Sistrane Edwards, was also killed and a woman was critically wounded.

Giglio had served about 10 years with the Ville Platte Marshal’s Office and about 15 years with the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office. Authorities later arrested 23-year-old Vonteeko Lamar Anderson; he was initially held on drug and weapons charges and was later booked on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Giglio’s death.

Anyone who knew Deputy Marshal Giglio, Sistrane Edwards, or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
