A 47-year-old man from Houma, Louisiana, Kaegan Jude Solet, is currently wanted by law enforcement. He is identified as a person of interest in a series of stabbings that left four people dead and a child in critical condition. The incidents occurred in the Ashland Drive area of Houma.
Incident Overview
Deputies from the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office were alerted to a situation on Ashland Drive. Upon arrival, they discovered a child with severe injuries. The child was airlifted to an external hospital and is in critical but stable condition, as detailed by Lt. Blake Tabor from the sheriff’s office.
Tabor expressed his dismay, stating, “That’s not something that you want to see ever.”
Subsequent Discoveries
While surveying the neighborhood, deputies found four deceased individuals in nearby homes. The authorities have not disclosed if any of the victims had a connection to Solet or the injured child. The exact motive and details about the locations of the attacks remain undisclosed.
Though he hasn’t been arrested or charged in the recent events, Solet is considered a person of interest. Authorities emphasize that this label does not imply a formal accusation of a crime.
Continuing Investigation
Authorities believe Solet is still within the area, though they are keeping all options open regarding his potential movements. Tabor stated that all investigative tools are being utilized to locate Solet and that officials hope for a swift resolution.
There is no current evidence suggesting that Solet plans to flee the state.
Background of Kaegan Jude Solet
Solet has a suspected history of violent behavior. In December 2019, he was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman multiple times and confining her in a motel room in Houma. Police found the victim at the Red Carpet Inn, severely injured, after receiving reports of calls for help from her room. Solet reportedly fled after the assault.
Additionally, in January 2019, a warrant was issued for Solet’s arrest concerning the murder of Kemple Paul Scott Lovell. The outcome of both 2019 cases remains unclear.
