to the parking lot, where he eventually found the victim in his vehicle. It should be noted that stated he heard a
"pop" sound near the vehicle at approximately 0924 hours when he was working on the exterior of the hotel, but he did
not think anything of it at the time.

An SCDMV search of John Barnett yielded a return for a white male matching the description of the victim. Officer
Ward ran the above name and date of birth provided by the SCDMV search through NCIC and discovered a "John M.
Barnett" (Louisiana DL# ) residing at the address previously provided by Officer Ward was able to
match these search results with the victim`s Louisiana DL that was found by CPD Central in his hotel room. The
Coroner confirmed the victim`s identity with the same Louisiana DL.

CPD Central Sgt. Brown and Det. Delucia, Crime Scene, and the Coroner were all advised and responded to the
scene, taking over the investigation. Officer Ward stood by and secured the crime scene. This incident was recorded on
Officer`s CPD issued BWC.

Supplement- 24-03740
Incident - Suicide
Location- 301 Savananah Hwy
Date- 3/9/24
Victim- John Barnett

On 9 March 2024 at 1013 hrs, I (Sgt. Feeters) responded to the parking lot of 301 Savannah Hwy in reference to
suspicious person call. Prior to arrival a witness/employee advised he observed a male sitting in an orange pick up truck
at the rear of the hotel holding a gun in his lap.

I arrived a short time later and was directed towards an orange Dodge Ram pickup truck bearing LA tag- I
along with officers Drayton and Ward visually scanned the interior of the vehicle from outside.

I observed a white male seated in the drivers seat holding a silver hand gun in his right hand. His head was tilted
upwards and what appeared to be a GSW was observed about his side of his head. I detected no movement in his chest
and summoned EMS and FD to assist. Due to all the door being locked I requested the FD to open the drivers side door
via a slim jim device.

Once inside the vehicle, for safety reasons I removed the handgun from his right hand due to his finger still being on the
trigger. I moved said handgun to the center console allowing EMS to check his status, after which point he was
pronounced deceased.

I when instructed Ofc. Drayton to secure the scene while Ofc. Ward began the field investigation. Central and CS were
requested and responded.
