Trooper Floyd was shot and killed by two men he and another trooper stopped earlier in the evening. They stopped the men after observing their vehicle driver recklessly. They allowed the men to go and followed them to determine if they were drunk or not. After following them for one or two miles the officers determined they everything was normal and stopped following them.
After getting off duty Trooper Floyd returned home and approximately 15 minutes later heard a commotion at his front gate. When he went to investigate he was shot and killed. His wife and son came to his rescue and his son returned to the home to retrieve his gun. When the son returned he fired on the suspects, who returned fire, fatally wounding his son as well.
The two suspects were apprehended but acquitted of murder charges after two separate trials.
Trooper Floyd had been with the agency for 14 years and was survived by his wife.

I am the granddaughter of Ulis Floyd, Georgia L. Floyd. My Grandfather and uncle (my fathers twin) passed before I was born. I remember gong to my fathers home in Louisiana, as a child. The bullet holes where still in the front of the house, and the front window was broke from a bullet. We would sit on the front porch in rocking chairs my family and grandmother, and listen to the thounder and lighting and watch it rain. We would listen to the bob whites call and we would wistle back. My grandmother has 102 years old when she passed away. She was the strongest woman I have ever met to this day. She worked at the senior center till she was 99 years old, teaching ceramics to the seniors. I cant imagine lossing your husband and son together the same day and living to be 102 years old. God rest your soles, Momo Papa and uncle. Your family is together in heaven!
