St. Tammany Parish deputies responded last Friday (April 14, 2017) to a 911 call of a man shot in the Folsom community. The victim, identified as Cody Crouch (27), was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Margaret Stockstill (32) of Franklinton was arrested late Wednesday (April 19, 2017) afternoon and charged with Manslaughter.
A STPSO report reveals that an argument began Friday evening between Couch, Stockstill, and Couch's fiancé. The argument became physical and Stockstill armed herself with a .22 caliber revolver and shot Couch once in the lower abdomen. Stockstill admitted to shooting Couch but claimed self-defense. The investigation and evidence concluded that shooting Couch was not justified.
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith says, "If you are going to take the life of another human being, it needs to be justified. That was not the case in this particular instance. It is very unfortunate that this happened, and it all could have easily been prevented. Tempers flared and someone lost their life because of it."
