On the evening of March 29, 2022, deputies responded to a home on Dianne Drive in Saint-Rose, Louisiana, where 21-year-old Clayton Poche was found dead of gunshot wounds. Investigators say the incident began as a domestic disturbance involving Clayton and his mother and escalated after his father, 48-year-old Ben Poche, returned to the residence.

Reports state Clayton arrived at the home wearing a ballistic vest and armed with a semi-automatic handgun. The argument between father and son reportedly escalated and Clayton drew his weapon; Ben Poche then fired, fatally wounding his son. Clayton had prior commitments for mental illness and a documented history of unstable and violent behavior. The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office said the investigation was ongoing and has not released information about any charges.
