Funeral Arrangements Set for Officer Shot Leaving For Work

Funeral arrangements have been set for a recently graduated Louisiana police officer who was fatally shot shortly before a night shift.

News outlets report a public viewing and family hour service for 22-year-old Chateri Payne will be held Friday, while her funeral will take place Saturday morning at Summer Grove Baptist Church.

The Shreveport officer was shot multiple times Jan. 9 as she was in uniform leaving for work. Police haven't publicly identified suspects or a motive. Payne graduated from Shreveport's police academy on Nov. 16.
