The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office
is mourning the loss of one of their own.
According to Sheriff Jason Ard, 40-year-old Corporal Robert
McKinney died on Thursday, August 5 after a two-week battle with
COVID-19. “His courageous battle has impacted every member of the LPSO &
those in the community who have been following his wife’s status updates
on social media. Know that your care, concern & support reached his
family,” said Ard. McKinney joined the force back in May of 2011. He was
assigned to the Livingston Parish Detention Center as a correctional
deputy. He eventually worked his way into a supervisory position as a
shift Corporal.
