REGION 1 NEWS RELEASE
October 7, 2025

Plaquemine - Louisiana State Police detectives continue the investigation into a deputy-involved shooting that occurred in the Iberville Parish Courthouse.

The preliminary investigation revealed that an Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office (IPSO) detective was interviewing 27-year-old Latrell Clark of White Castle in connection with an ongoing sex crimes investigation. At the conclusion of the interview, the IPSO detective informed Clark that he was under arrest.

Clark actively resisted and attempted to disarm the detective, resulting in a physical struggle during which several gunshots were fired. As a result, Clark, the detective, and a responding IPSO deputy were all struck by gunfire.

All three were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Both the deputy and Clark later succumbed to their injuries, while the detective remains in stable but critical condition. This remains an active investigation, and additional details will be released as they become available.
