Overview

  • The stabbings, which occurred on Saturday, Sept. 12, left at least four people dead and a juvenile in critical condition after deputies found multiple victims in homes near the 200 block of Ashland Drive.
  • Terrebonne Parish authorities identified 47-year-old Kaegan Jude Solet as a person of interest and said he has been taken into custody in connection with the incidents.
  • Investigators described the probe as active and preliminary, have not released victim names or a motive, and have not announced any formal charges against Solet.
  • Solet has prior stabbing-related arrests from 2019, including an attempted second-degree murder case at a Houma motel, and he was found not guilty in a 2023 trial, facts that have shaped public attention to the arrest.
  • Authorities asked the public for tips through Terrebonne detectives and Crime Stoppers with a reward offered for information and said the case could prompt renewed scrutiny of past local investigations and court decisions.
