No
Kylan Laurent reportedly jumped from the Veterans Memorial Bridge (Gramercy Bridge) while being chased by police because of his suspected connection with several murders. Laurent led police on a chase through Vacherie, along LA 18 in St. James Parish. Just before 1 p.m. Laurent was heading south on LA 18 from Vacherie, when he made a u-turn on LA 3213 near the Wallace community. Laurent's 2005 Chevrolet Impala then stopped at the top of the bridge in Gramercy, where he got out of the car and went over the wall into the river 165 feet below. The pursuit and the jump were reportedly caught on the dashboard cameras in Louisiana State Police units. Laurent's body was pulled from the Mississippi River about 22 miles from where he'd jumped in St. Charles eight days later.
