St. Tammany deputies arrested former NFL player Terreal Bierria for the murder of Soron Salter.
“We know that drugs was involved,” St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday. “We believe that the altercation began over the drugs. We think that was the first blow was from what we believe was a knife.”
Roughly 20 minutes after the murder, detectives said, Bierria checked himself in to the emergency room at North Shore Hospital, with lacerations to his arms and hands. Hospital staff then notified police.
Bierria is charged with first-degree murder. He’s being held in the St. Tammany Parish Jail without bond.
Bierria and Salter were childhood friends, investigators said, and played football together at Salmen High School. Bierria went from Salmen to the University of Georgia, then played two seasons as a defensive back with the Seattle Seahawks, in 2002 and 2004.
“We have seen nothing to indicate that their past behavior would have led to yesterday’s events,” Strain added. “So there was nothing in their history we should have recognized, or someone should have known that would have caused this to happen.”
Deputies said, Bierria has refused to speak to them about his role in Salter’s death. Investigators said Tuesday, they do not believe anyone else was involved in Salter’s death, but they said, the investigation is on-going.
