OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On May 10, 2021, at approximately 2:00 a.m., a Louisiana State Police trooper observed a Ford Explorer traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 167 near LA Highway 749 that was driving too fast. The trooper escalated pursuit; the driver did not stop. The trooper allegedly "called off the chase" due to inclement weather and high speeds, just before the Explorer veered off the roadway, struck a parked vehicle, overturned, and hit a utility pole. The Explorer was occupied by four juveniles, including 15-year-old passenger Trashawn Blake Harrison, who was ejected from the vehicle and died. Three other juveniles were injured.
