TPSO Investigating Shooting in Hammond Area
HAMMOND (September 30, 2025)- The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) needs the public’s help gathering information about a shooting that has left a teen fighting for his life.
On Monday afternoon, September 29, TPSO received a call about shots being fired between two cars in the 13000 block of Miley Niquiporo Road. Shortly after, a call came in about shots being fired at a vehicle near the intersection of Highway 1064 and Rufus Bankston Road.
Initially, in both cases, no injuries were reported. However, just before 4 p.m., an 18-year-old male was brought into a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. That victim remains in critical condition at this time.
While deputies are actively working several leads in this investigation, they are hoping the public can help us identify and locate a vehicle and individual believed to be associated with this case in a good Samaritan role. The vehicle, as seen in the attached picture, is a newer model VW four-door sedan. The driver was a young, white male.
Sheriff Gerald Sticker encourages anyone with information about any of these incidents, which are believed to be connected, to contact the Criminal Investigations Office at 985-902-2088.
