A Louisiana Woman’s Crime

A Louisiana woman stabbed and killed a convicted sex offender. The sex offender tried to assault the Louisiana woman at a laundromat.

The victim of the Louisiana woman, Nicholas Tranchant, was found with a stab wound and later died. The Louisiana woman claimed self-defense, stating that Tranchant attacked her with a weapon.

The Louisiana woman disarmed him and stabbed him with his weapon before escaping. Tranchant had a history of criminal convictions, including indecent behavior with juveniles.

According to a published article by True Crime Daily, Sheriff Randy Smith praised the Louisiana woman for her bravery and asked for prayers for her recovery.

Indecent Behavior And Burglary

In a published article by Yahoo News, the Louisiana woman fought back, stabbed him, and then fled to safety. The Louisiana woman and the convicted sex offender were taken to a hospital, but Tranchant later died.

He had been convicted of indecent behavior with juveniles and burglary in the past and was released from incarceration in December 2023.
