Avoyelles Parish sheriff's deputies say a 34-year-old man shot and killed a woman he was living with and then shot himself in the head and died.

The engagement of Miss Lindsay Lee Roberie to Mr. Kalan Paul Couvillion, the son of Paul Couvillion and Kathy Couvillion of Moreauville, has been announced by her parents, David Roberie and Susan Roberie of Mamou.

A domestic dispute between the driver of a vehicle and her passenger led to a March 10 car crash near Moreauville. The driver and alleged victim, a 60-year-old woman, told police that her passenger, 46-year-old Kennedy F. Walker of Moreauville, became enraged during a dispute and grabbed the vehicle's steering wheel while threatening to kill the victim. She said that Walker steered the vehicle into a ditch, where it struck a culvert and rolled onto its side, police said. The driver suffered moderate injuries during the crash and was transported to a local hospital, while Walker fled the scene on foot. He was arrested a day later by Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Office deputies. Walker was charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property and a probation and parole warrant from Calcasieu Parish. He was booked into the Avoyelles Detention Center, where he awaits a $250,000 bond.
