Louisiana Self-Defense: North Shore man kills 81-year-old father in apparent self defense :: 07/11/2017

An 81-year-old Washington Parish man was shot to death by his son Saturday (July 8) in a case authorities said appears to be self-defense. Hoyt "Chick" Boyd, a resident of Angie, was shot outside his son's residence and died at the scene, the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office reported.

Patrol deputies and detectives responded to a call about the shooting in the small community in the northeast corner of Washington Parish on Saturday and discovered that Boyd had been shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the sheriff's office.

The preliminary investigation indicates Boyd was shot in self-defense by his son, who was not identified by the sheriff's office. Boyd and his son did not live together, authorities said.

The case remains under investigation and an autopsy is being conducted. No one was arrested and the case will be turned over to the 22^nd Judicial District Attorney's Office when the sheriff's office completes its investigation, authorities said.

No other information on the case is being released at this time, a sheriff's office spokesman said.

"This is a tragic event which strongly impacts not only this family but also the entire close-knit Angie community," Washington Parish Sheriff Randy Seal said. "I extend my sincere sympathy to all who are touched by this event and offer my prayers for the Boyd family."
