Hours after the stabbing spree, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office announced that Solet “has been taken into custody in connection with the ongoing investigation into the incidents in the Ashland Drive area. Houma stabbing suspect Kaegan Jude Solet’s chilling social media posts have come to light after he murdered four people and left a juvenile critically injured on Saturday, September 12. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
The individual was flown by Acadian Ambulance Service Air Med to an out-of-area hospital. At least four victims were pronounced dead. However, he has not been convicted in any of those cases. Solet has a long rap sheet. Police arrested him following an anonymous tip. He was found hiding inside a shed behind a mobile home, a block west of Saturday’s deadly crime scene. Boudreaux initially claimed that her boyfriend William Naquin was the one who had attacked her, but later went on to accuse Solet, who claimed that he was homeless at the time. Prosecutors pointed to security camera footage and Solet’s DNA being found inside as evidence that he had carried out the attack. Solet was arrested and charged in the attempted murder.
Police said that deputies initially responded to the 200 block of Ashland Drive, where they found a juvenile suffering from apparent stab wounds. Solet, 47, was arrested several times in the past decade for a series of stabbings, one of them fatal. He was charged in January 2019 with the murder of Kemple Paul Scott Lovell, a homeless man found dead with several stab wounds in Houma, police said, per the New York Post. However, he was found not guilty of the attack in November 2023.
Amid the investigation , deputies found several deceased victims inside nearby homes, police said. He said that he had been inside the room with Boudreaux the previous night but had been sleeping on the streets the day she was attacked.
