Suspect Arrested in Fatal Shooting of Hospital Employee Outside Our Lady of the Lake Hospital
BATON ROUGE, LA – Authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of 58-year-old Patricia Jackson, who was killed Wednesday afternoon outside Our Lady of the Lake (OLOL) Hospital in what police believe was a domestic-related incident.
The Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) confirmed that the suspect, 60-year-old Roland Domino, was taken into custody shortly after 7 p.m. on the Mississippi River Bridge following an extensive search.
He has been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
As of Thursday morning, his bond had not yet been set.
The fatal shooting occurred around 3:50 p.m. in the 5000 block of Hennessy Boulevard, within the hospital parking lot behind the Walgreens store at the corner of Essen Lane and Hennessy Boulevard.
Chief TJ Morse of BRPD stated that Jackson, an employee of OLOL, was leaving work when she got into a verbal altercation with Domino in the parking lot.
The argument escalated, leading Domino to allegedly open fire, striking Jackson multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Following the shooting, the hospital was placed on lockdown for approximately an hour as a precautionary measure.
The lockdown was lifted just before 5 p.m., according to a hospital spokesperson.
BRPD officers located Domino on the Mississippi River Bridge around 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19.
He was approached by uniformed officers and taken into custody without incident.
Authorities revealed that Domino has a criminal history that includes forgery, simple burglary, aggravated assault, and simple battery.
Our Lady of the Lake Health President, Chuck Spicer, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, highlighting Jackson’s role as a valued member of the hospital staff.
“Thoughts are with the family. They lost a family member—a daughter, a mother, and a sister. Our work family lost one of our own,” Spicer said. “Thanks to the first responders and our security team for acting quickly. Please give us time to heal and grieve. Thank you again to law enforcement for their presence.”
OLOL Health also issued an official statement following the incident:
*”Our Lady of the Lake is a beacon of healing for our community, and today that sacred space was shattered by a tragic act of violence. We lost a member of our work family, a mother, and a friend to many.
We want to thank law enforcement for their quick response, the team members who jumped into action to provide care, and our security personnel who ensured the safety of our facilities.
Now, we will grieve this loss as a family. We will wrap our arms around her loved ones and provide our staff with access to counseling and support during this difficult time.”*

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
