Baton Rouge hunter killed in Tangipahoa Parish
KENTWOOD, La. (WAFB) – The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed a deer hunter was killed over the weekend by another hunter.
The hunting incident happened on Sandy Hollow Wildlife Management Area near Kentwood around 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28.
Officials identified the man killed as Roberto Garcia, 61, of Baton Rouge.
According to the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the shooter reportedly told authorities he was shooting at a deer and did not know Garcia was behind a deer due to vegetation.
Garcia was hit by a .45 caliber muzzleloader and died at the scene before first responders arrived.
This is the second hunting incident LDWF is investigating that’s happened within a week. A deer hunter was injured in Zachary after being mistaken for a deer on Monday, Dec. 23.
There are things people can do before hunting to protect themselves and those around them. LDWF reminds deer hunters to follow hunter orange requirements and to fully identify their target and background before pulling the trigger.
