Louisiana state trooper mag dumps armed suspect

This compilation of bodycam and dashcam footage comes courtesy of the Louisiana State Troopers, shown here in the attempted interdiction of two narcotics suspects in a chase from Terrebonne Parish to Lafourche Parish. One of the suspects tries to flee on foot and draws a firearm, at which point he is shot and killed. Viewer discretion is advised. LSP attempted a traffic stop on a Ford F-150 containing two persons suspected of narcotic activity: The driver, Jonah Parfait, 46 years of age and passenger, Darien Riffe, 31. The pair did not comply with the traffic stop and instead lead LSP on a chase that crossed parish lines. At the end of the road, Riffe exited on foot. Apparently, the odds seemed better if they split up. He's shown climbing through a cattle gate, at which point the camera switches to the Trooper's bodycam. After a foot chase smattered with references to the taser that I am certain only seem unprofessional due to a thick regional accent, Riffe is shown going prone and drawing a handgun, at which point the Trooper shoots him several times. At least one round is heard from Riffe's weapon while the trooper shoots to lockback and reloads. Despite medical aid rendered, Riffe was declared deceased on-scene. His partner, still driving the F-150, was apprehended after a vehicle collision which caused minor injuries to a bystander. No other persons were harmed.
