GONZALES - The body of fallen Iberville Parish Sheriff Deputy Charles W. Riley was escorted from Broussard to a funeral home in Gonzales on Wednesday.

Riley was shot to death after interrogating a suspect Monday night at the Iberville Parish Courthouse in Plaquemine.

The procession made its way to the Ourso Funeral Home, where Riley's body will be prepared for a funeral.

As the procession went along, many citizens, such as Annette Blank, stood on the side to pay the respects.

"This community has always gotten together, anytime anybody got hurt, or anything on their jobs, firefighters, policemen, anybody, they've always been out for it," Annette Blank said.

The Hearse was led by deputies and officers from around the state on motorcycles.
