NEW ORLEANS—An intense manhunt was underway in New Orleans on Saturday for a prisoner who managed — while handcuffed in a police vehicle — to shoot and kill an officer and then escape, authorities said.
The New Orleans Police Department said Officer Daryle Holloway, 45, was shot while transporting Travis Boys from the police department to the Orleans Parish Prison.
After the shooting, the vehicle crashed into a utility pole, and Boys fled, according to police. Emergency medical teams soon arrived at the scene and found Holloway in the front seat of the vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died a short time later.
