What happened
Timothy Albert was fatally shot by St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputies near Port Barre, Louisiana, on January 20, 2016. The national Fatal Force database identifies the date, location and law-enforcement agency. The immediate circumstances of the shooting, any claimed weapon or threat, the deputies' identities and the ultimate prosecutor's findings have not been independently reconstructed from the specific material reviewed. A comprehensive narrative would require original police reports and local eyewitness accounts. Until those sources are obtained, this entry distinguishes the documented fatal police gunfire from the unresolved basis for the deputies' decision to shoot.
