WATCH: Scene video of man arrested in Louisiana after alleged murder in Rochester Hills (courtesy KTBS)
A man has been charged with murder in Louisiana after allegedly killing a Rochester Hills man and assaulting his wife this past week, posing as a DTE worker to get into the home. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office announced via social media that Carlos Hernandez has been charged with murder, among other charges, in regards to this incident. According to a press release, Hernandez has been charged by prosecutors with felony murder and two counts of unlawful imprisonment. If convicted, Hernandez faces life in prison. Hernandez was taken into custody earlier this weekend, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Detectives are still searching for the second suspect. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said this happened on Newcastle Drive near Adams and Dutton roads earlier this week. On Saturday, the sheriff’s office identified the victim as 72-year-old Hussein Murray. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard says the two men, who had a white pickup truck with a DTE placard, rolled up to the house Thursday night and tried to get in but were denied.

Sedentary life? Louisiana ranks among the worst in physical inactivity. See national data.
Many adults spend much of their lives being sedentary — getting out of bed in the morning only to go to an office desk chair for eight hours, followed with TV time (or some scrolling) on the couch before bed.
A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 8.3% of deaths of nondisabled adults ages 25 and older were attributed to physical inactivity.
Louisiana ranks 45th in the United States with 28.3% of adults in the state reporting doing no physical activity or exercise other than their regular jobs in the past 30 days.
Although the number of Louisiana adults reporting physical inactivity is declining — from 31.9% in 2019, 29.0% in 2020 and 29.4% in 2021 — the state is still well below the national average of 23.4%.
Colorado takes the top spot with the least amount of adults reporting physical inactivity with 16.8%, followed by Utah with 16.9% and Washington with 17.5%.
Mississippi had the highest rate of physical inactivity among adults in 2022 with 31.9%, with Arkansas (31.1%) and West Virginia (30.2%) following in the state rankings.
Being physically active and reducing sedentary behavior benefits health at all ages, according to the CDC. Regular physical activity is associated with reduced risk of:
- cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke
- hypertension
- type 2 diabetes
- certain cancers, including bladder, breast and colon cancer
- dementia
- anxiety and depression

Wooldridge and Louisiana-Lafayette defense come up big in 34-24 win over Appalachian State
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Ben Wooldridge accounted for three touchdowns, Landon Burton recovered a fumbled ball in the end zone in the fourth quarter, and Louisiana-Lafayette beat Appalachian State 34-24 on Saturday night.
With 13:32 remaining in the game, Louisiana-Lafayette’s Justin Agu recovered a fumbled ball and returned it 70 yards to the Appalachian State 7-yard line. On the next play, Bill Davis fumbled the ball and Burton recovered it in the end zone to stretch the Louisiana-Lafayette lead to 27-17.
Joey Aguilar threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Eli Wilson to pull Appalachian State to 27-24 with 8:06 left. Wooldridge ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:03 to play, sandwiched between a pair of Tyrone Lewis Jr. interceptions, to seal it for Louisiana-Lafayette (5-1, 2-0 Sun Belt Conference).
