Yea. I live in Natchitoches and have my whole life. I've heard good things about the kid. Something stupid that shouldn't have happened from what I understand.

His uncle is pro Keith Poche

So many questions.

First, was he killed by a homeless guy or another fisherman

Second, why was he at a boat ramp at almost midnight

Night fishing is common on Cane River Lake, would imagine it's the same on Sibley.

I have no idea if he was night fishing--just saying it's a possibility.

I'm sure this will be some meth head trying to rob him. This is just plain horrible.

Lots of folks hang out at that launch and start a fire and drink a few beers.

Several different versions of stories floating around already but the main point is it was a kid around the same age as dylan that stabbed him after some sort of altercation for unknown reasons to me. Truly tragic for the poches.

Common to night fish the river this time of year is probably why he was there that time of night. Sad situation.

tragic situation. My wife was like "you aren't going fishing anymore"

I was like "yeah because no one ever gets mugged at the mall or anything".

Prayers for the Poche family

Very sad deal. Stabbed to death has to be a terrible way to go.

I'm interested to know how his brother kept the murderer at the scene.

The launch is an area known for hanging out and drinking and just shooting the bull. It was also a popular place to fight back in HS. There was a gathering there and it was a bunch of kids being kids and having a good time til the incident. They were just going fishing, it was the middle of the night.

Wonder if he was sinking brush piles? Its the time of year to do it, end of January...Night fishing this time of year isn't optimal imo, but hey, might have been...I just don't do it till it gets really hot, but to each their own...
