How they died

Deadly force

Deputies shot and killed Sean Egana after he allegedly refused orders to surrender and shot at deputies following a police chase and burglary. Egana had allegedly burglarized an Old Jefferson house and used a gun stolen from the house to carjack a SUV at a Metairie bar. Egana then led deputies on a chase before crashing through a fence and into the parking lot of an abandoned business in the 1000 block of Dakin Street. There, Egana allegedly got out of the SUV, refused orders to surrender and fired a gun at deputies before they cut him down in a fusillade. Egana's relatives have decried the number of times he was shot, counting more than 20 bullet wounds.
