TROOP C NEWS RELEASE November 2, 2021 Louisiana State Police Investigating Houma Police Department Officer-Involved Shooting Houma – On November 1, 2021, Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations was requested by the Houma Police Department (HPD) to investigate an officer-involved shooting. At approximately 4:11 p.m., the Houma Police Department received a call about a disturbance at an address on Downtown Court in the city limits of Houma. The preliminary investigation by LSP Detectives revealed immediately after the first HPD officer arrived on scene, 36-year-old Johnny Magee of Houma charged at the officer while holding a screwdriver. As the officer gave commands to stop and began to create distance, Magee continued forward as an additional officer arrived on the scene.

Magee was struck by gunfire and transported to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries. No officers were injured in the incident. Louisiana State Police is the lead investigating agency.
