Farmerville, Union Parish

Gavin Porter, 26, of Greensburg in St. Helena Parish, was found about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after apparently hanging himself with a bedsheet in a cell where he had been placed Saturday night after a fight involving several inmates, Union Parish Sheriff Dusty Gates said. The sheriff said no foul play is suspected.

Damn. Sad.

According to WAFB, Porter was arrested after the Oct. 17, 2016 shooting death of his father, Gary Wayne Porter, age 54.


Nevermind.

Looks like manslaughter, but a St. Helena Parish case. Just serving his time as a state DOC prisoner elsewhere which they do. Or was.
