County : Vermilion

State : Louisiana

Agency : Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Suicide under police duress

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On November 23, 2021, at approximately 9:00 a.m., a Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a motorcycle near the intersection of LA-700 and Shelly Road in Kaplan, Louisiana, due to the rider not wearing a helmet. The motorcyclist, identified as 43-year-old Kelly Vaughn (also known as Kelly Griffin), did not provide identification and reportedly gave false information regarding his identity. Police alleged that he retrieved a handgun from his saddlebag; however, they admitted that he did not threaten them. Officers drew their firearms, and Vaughn fled on foot into a dense grassy field. Law enforcement established a perimeter, and the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office Special Response Team, along with Louisiana State Police, deployed aerial drones to locate him. Negotiators demanded his surrender, but Vaughn responded by firing shots at the drones and stated he would end his life rather than be taken to jail. At approximately 4:24 p.m., many hours after the standoff began, Vaughn died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the SWAT standoff. It is unknown whether he had committed any crimes, as police did not comment further.
