NAACP representatives encouraged the people of
Ferriday and the family of Ron Lollis to continue the fight Thursday
night. Close to 200 gathered at Greater Saint Reed Baptist Church to
hear state NAACP leaders talk about the killing of Lollis on Aug. 23 on
Doty Road. Lollis was walking on Doty Road when a Concordia Parish
Sheriff's deputy stopped him in response to a complaint earlier in the
night. Sheriff Randy Maxwell has said Lollis pulled a gun on the
deputy. The matter is under investigation by the state police and the
district attorney's office. "This is not over by a long shot," Ferriday
NAACP President Justin Conner said. "We will not be quiet. This
community has been shaken but we have not fallen." Most gathered at the
church Thursday think the shooting was a racial incident. The deputy is
white and Lollis was black. [more
