We realize thats an obvious issue, New Orleans Police Chief Michael Harrison said at a news conference. Were going to get to the bottom of that.
Travis Boys, 33, was being taken to jail early Saturday by Officer Daryle Holloway when Holloway was shot dead. Boys fled the scene and was the focus of a relentless 24-hour manhunt before he was taken into custody Sunday morning as he was attempting to board a bus, police said.
Harrison said Sunday that Boys will be charged with first degree murder in the death of Holloway, who was 45.
From the moment that this tragic event happened, we brought together many people and resources to track down this suspect and bring him to justice, Harrison said Sunday.
There will be no protests for "OUR" brother in blue. Be safe
