According to police, officers found 26-year-old Andre Dontrell Williams, who fit the suspect description, hiding under a bed in one of the bedrooms of the house. Williams was reportedly armed with a knife.

Officers ordered Williams to drop the knife and to come out from under the bed. Williams began emerging from the bed but continued to hold the knife. Police said they used a Taser on Williams in an attempt to disarm him.

Williams refused to release the knife and made an aggressive movement at one of the officers with the knife in hand. Officers discharged their firearms at Williams, striking him. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.

A search warrant was obtained to process the house for evidence. Officers searched the home and found several pieces of evidence corroborating the victim’s account that she was held against her will and sexually assaulted.

The officers involved in the shooting have been identified as Sgt. Robert Labadie (15-year veteran,) Sgt. Wesley Breaux (7-year veteran,) Sgt. Karl Pulliam (6-year veteran,) and Ofc. Daniel Carli (2 years of service.)

The four officers will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation on the shooting, according to police.
