BATON ROUGE, La. — The Louisiana State University Police Department (LSUPD) confirmed Saturday that it is continuing to investigate a report of shots fired near the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center, located at 1 East Campus Drive.
In an emergency alert to the campus community, university officials emphasized that there is currently no active threat to campus safety.
However, community members were urged to continue avoiding the Law Center area and to closely monitor official emergency text and email notifications for further instructions.
Upon receiving the initial report, LSU police and local law enforcement agencies responded immediately, securing the area and beginning a comprehensive investigation.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed whether any injuries occurred or if a suspect is in custody.
The situation unfolded as an LSU football game was in progress at Tiger Stadium, which has drawn tens of thousands of fans to the university.
Although the stadium is located some distance from the Law Center, officials stressed that they are maintaining heightened security measures to safeguard both students and attendees.
University administrators are reminding students, faculty, and visitors to remain alert and follow all instructions from law enforcement until the investigation is complete.
Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing, and additional updates will be shared as new information becomes available.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency medical assistance was rendered at the scene, and she was transported to North Oaks Health System for treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Reed later succumbed to her injuries.
Detectives assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division launched an immediate homicide investigation.
During the course of their investigation, authorities identified 18-year-old Demontez Treyvon “Trey” Robinson of Hammond as a suspect in the shooting.
While actively working the case, officers observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and conducted a traffic stop.
