Deputy killed investigating robbery

CHACKBAY — Louisiana State Police have apprehended a suspect in the death of a Lafourche Parish sheriff’s deputy this morning.
About 2:30 a.m. today, Deputy Martha Woods Shareef responded to an alarm at Nocko’s convenience store, 1530 La. 20, Thibodaux, Sheriff Craig Webre said.
Woods, 53, confronted the suspect in the store once she arrived and at some point, she was hit by the suspect’s vehicle as he fled the scene, Webre said.
“There were sounds of a struggle and then silence over the radio,” said Gilbert Dardar, a spokesman for State Police Troop C.
Dardar said he doesn’t know the details of how the suspect, Billy Daigle, got from the store to the car.
State Police investigators are questioning Daigle at the Thibodaux Police Department office, but as of 10:45 a.m., he had not been booked on any counts, Dardar said.
The owner or manager of the store said on the mobile radio that Shareef had been injured and gave deputies a description of the suspect’s vehicle, according to a news release.
An ambulance took Shareef to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead, the news release says. Shareef was a 15-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, having served as a patrol officer, school resource officer, and supervisor, the news release says.
At 2:49 a.m., State Police, sheriff’s deputies and Thibodaux police spotted the suspect’s vehicle and pursued it until it wrecked just south of Thibodaux on La. 1, the news release says.
Daigle swam across Bayou Lafourche and was seen climbing up on the bank, but he was found at 6:25 a.m. hiding under a house on the bayou side of La. 308, authorities said.

My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the fallen.

My Condolences to her Family and Friends, May she Rest in Peace

Just a note on that article, I am really surprised they published her home address, in respect to her family, their privacy and possibly even their safety.

I agree and I did not even notice it in the article as I had heard about it last night at work. I am deleting it from here.
