Corey Michael Friloux was 40 and a Gibson, Louisiana resident when he was killed on the evening of Monday, July 24, 2023. The shooting occurred shortly after 8:00 p.m. on Vega Court following an argument in which a third person intervened and the dispute escalated. Witnesses identified the intervening man as 20-year-old Benyamin William Walker, also of Gibson, who allegedly produced a weapon and fired, striking Friloux. Friloux was pronounced dead at the scene.

Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives used witness information to identify the suspected shooter and traced the vehicle used to flee to a business in nearby Thibodaux. Walker surrendered to authorities, admitted involvement during questioning, and was arrested and charged with Second-Degree Murder. He had outstanding warrants in an unrelated case and was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex with bond set at over one million dollars. The case remains pending in the legal system.

Does anyone with knowledge of Vega Court or the people involved have information that could help clarify what led to this fatal confrontation?
