Report shows shooting appears to be self-defense
A preliminary autopsy report indicates that a former Department of Public Safety employee allegedly shot and killed her stepfather in self-defense, Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel Edwards said Friday.
The formal report on the autopsy performed Friday on Halsel Canavier, 63, of Tickfaw won’t be completed until next week, Edwards said.
But from what his detectives have seen from the autopsy, Edwards said that Katherine Favre, 35, of Tickfaw, appeared to have shot Canavier in self-defense, as she told deputies on Thursday.
Edwards emphasized that the shooting remains under investigation.
The case will be turned over to the 21st Judicial District Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges should be pressed, Edwards said.
