Bogalusa Police Seek Public’s Help in Locating Shooting Suspect

On Wednesday (November 4, 2026) at approximately 6:20 pm, Bogalusa Police officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 900 block of Avenue E. Upon arrival, officers learned that a verbal altercation had escalated, resulting in gunfire.

Officers were advised that one gunshot victim had been transported to Our Lady of the Angels Hospital by private vehicle prior to their arrival. The victim remains in critical condition.
