Broussard was taken to Banner University Medical Center, where he died later, Bay said.

Homicide detectives say that Broussard was in an altercation in the motel's parking lot and anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline.

The investigation continues as detectives work to learn the circumstances that led to Broussard’s death, Bay said.
