Authorities explain why charge filed in Pointe Coupee Parish deadly shooting

BATCHELOR, LA (WAFB) - Louisiana State Police reported a man was arrested after a deadly shooting in a small Louisiana community on Monday.
Troopers said Mark Gaspard, 24, of Innis, was booked on a manslaughter charge in the shooting death of Mario Celestino, 40. Bond was set at $100,000.
According to LSP, Gaspard is charged because the deputy did not ask for his assistance or to get involved in a "law enforcement situation."
The shooting happened in Innis, a small community near Batchelor, which is in rural Pointe Coupee Parish. Investigators said it happened in the 8300 block of LA 418 around 4 p.m.
Louisiana State Police was called in by the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office to assist with the investigation because a deputy with PCPSO was on the scene but did not fire his weapon.
The Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office said Celestino allegedly kidnapped his ex-girlfriend's mother at gunpoint from her home in Avoyelles Parish. Deputies said he demanded the woman tell him where his ex-friend was.
According to officials, Celestino drove to Gaspard's house with his ex-girlfriend's mother in the car with him. They added Gaspard is dating the sister of Celestino's ex-girlfriend. The also said a deputy with PCPSO was at the house waiting for Celestino.
Celestino allegedly got out of the car with a weapon. Investigators stated when the deputy tried to put handcuffs on him, Celestino ran.
Authorities reported Gaspard then got involved in the situation and started running behind the deputy and Celestino in what they said they believe was an attempt to try to help the deputy. They added when Celestino stopped and turned around toward the deputy, Gaspard allegedly fired once and hit Celestino in the head, killing him.
Investigators said Celestino's ex-girlfriend had at least one restraining order against him.
Authorities did not report any other injuries in connection with the shooting.
Louisiana State Police is investigating the shooting, while the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the kidnapping.
This is absolute bullshite.

They made him out to be a killer. To be fair, he did kill a man.

I am confused as to whether the victim had a weapon when he turned and was it raised?
BTW, I am ok with this dude being shot.

I know the young man's family. Good people. Trash needed to be taken out.

Unfortunately that is not how it works. I am hoping there is a self defense case in here somewhere.

Shitty situation fo sho.... Will be interesting to see how the parish grand jury reacts to the charges.

First article mentions the trash was still armed.
Dead trash apparently said he was gonna kill the girl. I'll be damned if I would let him run toward the house.

"The Investigators learned Celestino's ex-girlfriend got a restraining order against him January 2016. Her reason for doing so? She claimed in the order that he slapped, punched, choked, shoved, kicked, stalked, threatened bodily harm, her life, sexually abused and threatened her with a weapon.
According to the restraining order, she gave specifics on her most recent abuse incident on Nov. 11, 2015, saying Celestino
"held gun to my head six times and used knuckles two times threatening as a weapon.
Also, turned gun on himself and tried forcing my hand to pull trigger.
Three separate occasions of sexual assault and violation while restrained."
The allegations go on saying things like she has:
had various items thrown at her from food, drinks, glass to furniture,
had her leg smashed between an ottoman and sofa,
shook her head holding her ears,
spit in her face and hair.
If she refused him sex, she claims he kicked her out of the bed,
shattered SEVEN iPhones and TWO iPads
and even fish-hooked the inside of her cheeks.
So the POS had kidnapped this gf's mom at GUNPOINT and the Pointe Coupee Sheriff's office thought that having just ONE officer on the scene where the gf was in hiding???? Domestic situations like this are among the deadliest types that cops deal with so why was there only ONE deputy there to deal with it??
The officer should be thanking his lucky stars that he is still alive and that the POS is dead.

One would have to assume this was a fluid situation and the "victims" were fortunate to have that ONE deputy on scene when the loon arrived... Knowing the parish I wouldn't think Bud has all too many deputies up north at any given time. And how do we even know the sheriffs dept knew anyone had been kidnapped when they were called out? A lot of assuming going on here to be sure.
Def a shitty sitch for Pointe Coupee. I'd rather read about this sort of garbage down in EBR, where shootings are expected.

Didn't realize that the guy shot did NOT have his gun in his hands as he ran from LEO. That was in a WAFB news video.
