Grand jury to get Lollis case soon
Monday, November 1, 2004 at 02:44PM
It will probably be November before the shooting
of Ron Lollis goes before a Concordia Parish grand jury, District
Attorney Investigator Paul Scott said. Scott said the investigation
into the Aug. 23 shooting is still under investigation. "They haven't
gotten all the stuff back from the lab and they are still talking to
people," Scott said. Scott had originally hoped the matter would go
before the grand jury dismissed at the end of September. Lollis, who
was black, was shot and killed by a white Concordia Parish Sheriff's
Deputy. Sheriff Randy Maxwell has said the deputy was responding to a
harassment call involving Lollis and Lollis pulled a gun on the deputy.
A gun was found at the scene. The FBI is also investigating the matter
as a civil rights violation but that investigation is also still
ongoing. The deputy has been put on administrative leave until the
conclusion of the investigation. The sheriff's office turned over the
investigation to the district attorney and the State Police because of
their involvement. [more
