Crews are working to clean up the charred remnants of an 18-wheeler after an early morning fire on I-10 West left two people injured.

One person is in custody following a raid at a home along Camellia Avenue.

The U.S. Marshal’s Service said Timothy Tyler, 50, was arrested for multiple burglary warrants. He was also wanted by probation and parole.

As Tropical Storm Arthur flooded Pointe Coupee Parish, Deputy Gabe Bordelon spent his time rescuing stranded residents, even as floodwaters took his own home.

The mother of a 22-year-old man shot and killed outside his apartment is calling on anyone with information to come forward, saying she fears her son’s case could go unsolved.

Qwaviez Hamilton was murdered outside his apartment. His mother, Monique Albert, returned to the site of the shooting to speak publicly about her son and the toll of gun violence across Baton Rouge.

A St. Gabriel family says their power has gone out more than 60 times since last summer, a problem they say puts their 2-year-old son’s health at risk. The child has a diagnosed lung condition and depends on electricity for breathing treatments, while some of his medication requires refrigeration.

His mother, Holly Judd, said she no longer wonders whether the power will go out — she expects it.

Judd said the outages have become so frequent — sometimes occurring every week and sometimes multiple times in a single day — that the family has lost groceries, missed work, and spent thousands of dollars replacing food and other items. She said the outages often do not affect the entire neighborhood, with nearby houses retaining power while her section of the street goes dark.

A 7-year-old girl is dead after possibly being injured during a domestic incident involving two adults, police said.
