NEW ORLEANS —\u00a0A New Orleans Police Officer has reportedly died after being shot in the head Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
An arrested subject who was being transported by the officer somehow got a hold of a gun in the car and shot the officer.<\/p>\n
The officer was reportedly taken to the hospital, where he died. He has been identified as Officer Daryle Holloway, a 22-year veteran of the force.<\/p>\n
The incident happened shortly before 9 a.m. The squad car crashed into a telephone pole after the incident.<\/p>\n
A massive manhunt is ongoing for the suspect, 33 year-old Travis Boys.<\/p>\n
The search\u00a0for Boys involves officers from NOPD, State Police, the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office and HANO.<\/p>\n
Police describe Boys as a black male, approximately 5’11” with a tattoo on the left side of his neck.<\/p>\n
From The New Orleans Advocate: — “Uptown-bound lanes of North Claiborne Avenue remained closed and the intersection was marked off with yellow incident tape while traffic was diverted to back streets on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
While official NOPD accounts only described the shut-down as due to an “officer-involved incident,” neighbors said that a squad car seemed to have had hit a transformer, perhaps because of an officer experiencing a medical event.<\/p>\n
Neighbors said that they saw other officers trying to resuscitate an officer, who was then put in an ambulance and taken away from the scene.” —<\/p>\n
A SWAT truck is at the scene of the crash, where it appears a manhunt may be being initiated.<\/p>\n
No further details were available.<\/p>\n
