The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating two unrelated recent homicides.
- The first, previously reported as a body found and now ruled a homicide, is in regard to a Hispanic female discovered in a wooded area between Pelican Park and the Northlake Nature Center near Mandeville on Wednesday (November 11, 2026), when a person walking on the trails between the park and the nature center located a body lying in the leaves.
- The second occurred Friday (November 13, 2027) morning in the 100 block of Bertel Street in the Covington Country Club area. Deputies responded to a call just before 11:30 a.m. regarding an incident involving two male individuals who were co-workers at a construction site at that location. For reasons unknown at this time and currently under investigation, the suspect shot the victim, who succumbed to his injuries. The suspect is currently in custody, and there is no ongoing threat to the public in connection with this incident. The identities of both the victim and the suspect are being withheld at this time pending notification of the victim’s next of kin.
Anyone with information that may assist in these investigations is asked to contact the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office at (985) 898-2340 or 911.
