Nearly a year to the day, this horrifying history has repeated itself in Louisiana.

The Houma Police Department has reported that on September 23rd, 2022 at approximately 4:49 pm officers responded to the Liberty Street Bridge in reference to a report of a child being thrown into Bayou Terrebonne from the Liberty Street Bridge.

The child, whom was found to be 18 months old, was then transported to a local medical facility where he was treated and is expected to recover from his injuries.

The investigation by Houma Police detectives has revealed that the child was thrown from the bridge by his mother for an unknown reason, and there is no known motive. The report shows that moments after allegedly throwing her child from the bridge, the suspect, identified as Asha Randolph, 30-years-old, entered Bayou Terrebonne and pulled the child from the water.

Officers also learned that at the time of the incident Asha had left her 8-year-old and 6-year-old children in her vehicle unsupervised.

Asha Randolph was then taken into custody and arrested for the charges of Attempted 1st Degree Murder, Child Desertion and Obstruction of Justice.

At the present time this incident is still under investigation and further details may be released at a later date and time.
