Vincent Harris Death | Vincent Harris Obituary – Vincent Harris was shot to death inside a Tigerland apartment earlier this week. According to reports, the police shooting that left Vincent Harris dead inside a Tigerland apartment wasn’t his first confrontation with Baton Rouge law enforcement, and his history of violence; both domestic and otherwise; was no secret to the officers who arrived on scene. The department issued an internal bulletin several weeks ago warning officers that Harris was considered armed and dangerous; and that he might have intentions of resisting arrest or even committing “suicide by cop.” A department spokesman confirmed Tuesday that the bulletin was distributed and confirmed its language.
According to reports, Harris, 51, was shot and killed early Monday after he pointed a gun at police, officials said. Bodycam footage of the encounter shows Harris emerging from an apartment doorway with a firearm in his right hand just moments before officers unleashed more than a dozen rounds in his direction.
In line with news release, Officers were attempting to arrest him on a warrant that was issued in early May and they had received a tip sometime after midnight Monday that Harris was staying at the apartment complex on Tigerland Avenue. The warrant included several recent accusations of domestic abuse, including attacking his girlfriend with a machete and almost slicing off her fingers.
