[From article]
Officer Daryle Holloway, 46, was killed during a struggle with accused shooter Travis Boys, who smuggled a gun into the cruiser and managed to shoot the officer in the right side of his chest while he was handcuffed, New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble said. The 22-year-old veteran of the police force died shortly after 9 a.m., leaving his heartbroken family reeling a day after they had gone shopping for Father’s Day.

NOPD
Louisiana authorities are searching for Travis Boys, 33, who allegedly grabbed [officer's weapon and] shot a police officer.


Holloway was taking Boys to Orleans Parish Prison when the flexible perp maneuvered his hands to the front of his body, shot the cop and then busted through the cruiser cage that separates the front and back seats to escape out of the passenger side door, Gamble said.
Boys, 33, fled on foot after the police vehicle crashed into a utility pole near the intersection of Elysian Fields and North Claiborne Aves., sparking a huge search and a $10,000 reward for his capture.
