Police have captured the suspect accused of killing a New Orleans police officer while handcuffed in the back of his police car on the way to jail.
Travis Boys, 33, was apprehended before 9 a.m. while trying to board a bus, sources told TV Station WDSU.
Police said Boys was handcuffed and en route Orleans Parish Prison when he was able to free himself from his handcuffs and shoot 45-year-old Daryle Holloway, a 22-year veteran with the department.
“They’re taking it pretty hard,” Holloway’s ex-wife Nicole Holloway told the Daily News of their three teenagers. “I took my youngest daughter shopping for Father’s Day gifts yesterday. She had all these gifts waiting to give him tomorrow. She made sure her dad was taken care of for tomorrow.”
