Louisiana Police Hunt 47-Year-Old Kaegan Solet After 4 Stabbing Deaths and Child Attack

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 13

Summary

  • Four people were found stabbed to death in Houma, Louisiana, after deputies responding to Ashland Drive discovered a critically wounded child and expanded their search to nearby homes.
  • Terrebonne Parish investigators identified 47-year-old Kaegan Jude Solet as a person of interest, said he had not been arrested or charged, and believe he may still be in the area.
  • The child was flown to an out-of-area hospital with what authorities called extremely significant injuries and was listed in critical but stable condition.
  • Investigators have not released the victims' identities, any relationships among them, or a motive, and said the case remains in its preliminary stages as detectives gather evidence.
  • Solet was previously accused in 2019 of a motel stabbing and separately sought on a second-degree murder warrant that year, prompting fresh questions from local authorities about why he was no longer in custody.
