A man who allegedly broke into a home in Vermilion Parish is dead after an early morning incident on Thursday.
According to Captain Drew David, the Public Information Officer for the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office, the patrol division received a 911 call at approximately 2:14 a.m. on Nov. 14, in reference to a home owner shooting a person who had broken into his residence.
Upon arriving at a residence off of La. Hwy. 35 South, deputies confirmed that a white male subject had been shot and was deceased. The deceased was later identified as Landon Blake Hebert, 30, of Iota. Detectives with the Sheriff’s Office processed the scene and took the complainant in for questioning.
