Troopers Seek Hit & Run Vehicle that Killed Pedestrian in Livingston Parish Crash

Denham Springs, LA –Shortly before 6:00 pm on December 20, 2016, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating hit and run fatality crash involving a pedestrian on LA 1026 (Juban Rd.) south of Interstate 12 in Livingston Parish. The crash took the life of 36 year old Corey Pepples of Denham Springs, LA. Troopers are now asking for your assistance in locating the hit and run vehicle and driver.

The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as Pepples was walking on LA 1026. For reasons still under investigation, Pepples was struck by a vehicle and sustained fatal injuries. That vehicle immediately fled the scene and was last seen traveling southbound on LA 1026.

Based on witness statements and evidence collected at the scene, Troopers believe that the suspect vehicle is a blue 1997-2002 Ford pickup. The suspect vehicle should have damage to the left side and should also be missing the driver’s side mirror.

This crash remains under investigation, and Troopers ask that anyone with any information regarding this crash please contact Louisiana State Police Troop A at 225-754-8500, or their local law enforcement agency.
