STPSO Makes Arrest in November 3rd Lacombe Shooting

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office has arrested Herman Williams (24) of Pearl River and charged him with Aggravated Burglary With a Dangerous Weapon and four counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder in a shooting that occurred at a Lacombe-area residence.on November 3, 2017.
When STPSO deputies responded to a report of a shooting on Mirmar Street in Lacombe, they found Jared  Kirsch (24) of Slidell laying immediately inside the front doorway of the residence suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Deputies also located four other individuals inside the residence who had sustained non-life-threatening injuries after Kirsh and Williams forced their way into the home and gunfire was exchanged. Detectives said the incident was likely drug related and the home was not chosen at random. Williams was not immediately identified, as he had fled the scene before deputies arrived.
On November 4, 2017, a warrant for his arrest was issued, and with the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, Williams was located in New Orleans on November 14 and taken into custody.
