SPD Sergeant David Heaser is 1st witnesses called in murder trial of slain police officer Thomas LaValley. On audio played from LaValley’s open microphone you hear this exchange: LaValley-“What’s up man? Let me see your hands. Move your hand for me.” Then heavy gunfire. @KSLA

LaValley can then be heard struggling to breath and crawling away before he faintly radios a second time saying: “Dispatch, I’m in the house, I’ve been hit.” Then the sound of three more gun shots as officer LaValley’s microphone goes silent. @KSLA

The family of murdered Shreveport police officer Thomas LaValley softly began crying as audio of the officer’s final moments alive are played for the jury. As LaValley was heard on the recording, radioing for help & fatally shot, at least two jurors became emotional. @KSLA
