The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman Thursday evening, according to authorities.

Sheriff Mark Herford said that at about 6:26 p.m. Thursday, a person called DeRidder authorities to report they had shot someone and wanted to turn themselves in.

At the time of the incident, Herford said the killing was believed to have occurred inside city limits, and DeRidder Police were the responding authorities. Upon further investigation, Herford said it was determined the incident had occurred just outside of city limits and BPSO responded to the scene.

The suspect, who was not identified Thursday, was taken into custody immediately and was being interviewed by detectives, according to Herford.

The victim was only identified as a white female.

Herford said that more information would be released as the investigation progressed, but that he was certain the person in custody was the only suspect in the incident and that there was no threat to the public.
