Houma trio charged with second-degree murder

Two Houma men and a woman were charged with second-degree murder Saturday morning after Houma Police found a local man lying outside his residence with multiple head and face fractures.

Talance White Sr., 22, was found outside his home in the 300 block of Antoine Street at 6:30 a.m., police said. He was badly beaten, and was transported to Terrebonne General Hospital for treatment.

Detectives determined that White had been in a fight near Hobson Street with the trio. Ronald L. Cooper, 23, of 107 Evelyn Ave., Timothy J. Domangue Jr., 21, of 616 High St., and Jessica L. Boudreaux, 20, of 2021 Slatter St., reportedly chased white and beat him unconscious on Antoine Street, police said.

No weapons were used in the crime, according to police.

The trio fled in a blue Ford Crown Victoria. Within an hour of the incident, patrol officers located the car on Henderson Street and arrested Cooper, Domangue and Boudreaux.

Houma Police said White remains at Terrebonne General in a coma.

Detectives have determined that the crime was not drug-related.
