It seems that 33-year-old Bruno J. Laboysantiago, wanted for a road rage homicide in Mercer County, New Jersey, underestimated the vigilance of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office when he decided to flee and lay low in Louisiana. In a social media post from the Sheriff's Office, the bold capture of Laboysantiago was described, "So let’s get this straight…Bruno J. Laboysantiago thought he could commit murder in New Jersey, flee to St. Tammany Parish, and just exist here like we wouldn’t notice? 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭."

The narrative continued with details of how Laboysantiago's freedom was curtailed after authorities received a tip of his presence in the area, which led to a patrol deputy spotting his Jeep on I-12 and promptly ending his attempt to evade the law, "One traffic stop later, and Bruno was in bracelets, headed straight to the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center as a fugitive." The Sheriff's Office didn't hide their sense of accomplishment in their diplomatic hosting of the fugitive, albeit briefly, as they hinted at the extradition process with a tinge of sarcasm, "Enjoy your brief stay here Bruno... 𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙅𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠."

In their public announcement on Facebook, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office emphasized their unwavering stance on fugitives thinking they can evade justice within their jurisdiction: "You don’t get to come into our parish and think you won’t get caught. Period." They punctuated their message with a series of hashtags hinting at their zero tolerance policy for criminals seeking refuge: #MurderSuspectsDontVacationHere, #TryAgainSomewhereElse, #NotOnOurWatch, #WrongParishBuddy, and #WelcomeToLouisiana.
