Sergeant Beau Raimer was killed when a rotted pine tree fell onto his patrol car.
He and a passenger were in the funeral procession for Deputy Sheriff Hilery A. Mayo Jr. when the accident happened. The procession was moving through Covington when a violent thunderstorm knocked down numerous trees from Slidell to Covington. A large pine tree hit his patrol car on 21st Avenue, crushing the top of the vehicle and killing Sergeant Raimer instantly. The deputy riding with him, who was also his fiance, was taken to St. Tammany Parish Hospital, paralyzed from the chest down.
Sergeant Raimer had served with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office for ten years. He is survived by his parents, sister, two nephews, and fiance.
