    Rene’s passing has left family members, friends, and loved ones in deep grief as they come to terms with a loss that came without warning. His death has also shaken the wider community, serving as a painful reminder of how quickly life can change in an instant.

    According to Louisiana State Police, the crash occurred around 9:15 p.m. on June 14, 2026. Preliminary investigations indicate that Rene was traveling south on an electric scooter along the service road when he was struck from behind by a 2014 Ford Focus traveling in the same direction. Authorities reported that the driver allegedly fled the scene following the collision rather than stopping to render aid or contact emergency services.

    Despite rapid response from first responders, Rene suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Following an investigation, authorities identified and arrested 20-year-old Malachi Thibodeaux of Grand Coteau in connection with the incident. He has been charged with hit-and-run resulting in death. Officials have stated that the investigation remains ongoing as evidence, witness statements, and crash reconstruction details are further reviewed.
