A manhunt continued Saturday afternoon for the fugitive accused of fatally shooting a veteran New Orleans police officer, a brazen killing that stunned the city and prompted an intense dragnet in which law enforcement officials dressed in SWAT gear went door-to-door in search of the gunman.
The officer, Daryle Holloway, a 22-year veteran of the New Orleans Police Department, had been driving a suspect to central lockup when the would-be inmate managed to fatally shoot Holloway and break free from custody, the authorities said. Holloway, 45, was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after 9 a.m.
