The arrest of Louis-Jocques, who stands accused of the murder of Beauty Couch, took place after extensive efforts by both Georgia and Louisiana law enforcement agencies. He is currently in custody at the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Facility, awaiting extradition to Cobb County, Georgia, where he will face trial for his alleged crimes.
The haunting saga began when the 22-year-old influencer was reported missing on August 22nd by her concerned parents. The following day, firefighters responded to a report of a brush fire in the area and discovered Beauty Couch’s vehicle engulfed in flames. Tragically, she was not at the scene.
After a meticulous search, authorities found her lifeless body in close proximity to the burnt-out vehicle. Early indications suggested foul play, leading to the identification of Eugene Louis-Jocques as the prime suspect in her death. A warrant was swiftly issued, marking a turning point in the investigation.
The efforts to track down the suspect led law enforcement to his association with St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana. With careful surveillance, they succeeded in capturing Louis-Jocques on August 26th during a traffic stop within the parish. Sheriff Randy Smith of St. Tammany Parish expressed his commitment to justice, stating, “We do not take kindly to people who think they can commit a crime elsewhere and try to hide in St. Tammany Parish.”
