Iberia Parish Sheriff's deputies have released some information about a shooting they were investigating Wednesday night in Coteau.
They were called to the 6000 block of Coteau Road and found 49-year-old Amy Guillory with multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her husband, 50-year-old Herbert Guillory, was later found deceased in a nearby field off Coteau Road, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This case appears to be a domestic-related incident. The Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office tells KATC that they do not believe they were ever called to the area before. KATC's Iberia Parish reporter, Anna Fischer, spoke with relative Ariana Baltazar who says the family does not believe the incident was domestic violence-related.
"I spoke with my uncle the day-of [the incident] and tried to get help immediately," said Baltazar. "They really were a model couple and just great people. You could ask them for anything and they'd go out of their way to help. It's just so sad..."
The investigation is ongoing, and no further details are available at this time. If you are struggling with mental health issues, there is help available. Call or text 988 to talk to professionals who can help.
