GAUTIER, Miss. (AP) - An autopsy has shown that a man killed by
sheriff's deputies in north Florida was a Mississippi fugitive
twice featured on "America's Most Wanted" for allegedly beating
to death his mother.
St. John's County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Charles E. "Chuck"
Mulligan says 52-year-old Rodney Joseph Lasseigne was identified
from dental and fingerprint records.
Three deputies responding to a call early Saturday about a
stolen semi saw the Toyota Yaris associated with the Gautier,
Miss., man, just off Interstate 95 in rural St. Augustine, Fla.
They approached the car and opened fire after the man brandished
a sawed-off shotgun.
Lasseigne's mother, 68-year-old Juanita Gibson of Gautier, was
beaten to death in July 2008.
