UPDATE: Subject in fatal thruway shooting will not be charged
This is from my local news. I've ridden on that road myself many times, in fact I just drove down this road about 2 hours ago. The guy was parked on the side of the road with him on the side of it and someone came up and tried to steal his truck. A fight ensued and the owner of the truck shot the attacker dead. No charges will be filed.
Notice two things:
1. The guy was on the side of the road yet when his truck was going to be stolen, he fought back. No need to retreat.
2. When he shot, he shot to kill.
Louisiana is a no-retreat state. You DO NOT have to run even if you can and you can shoot to defend property, your car is considered an extension of your home.
