Dakota Theriot pleaded guilty on Wednesday, Jan. 11, to killing three people in Livingston Parish in connection with a multi-parish shooting spree that left five dead in 2019.

The 21st Judicial District Attorney’s Office reported Theriot pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Officials said he will serve three life sentences concurrently, and he is in the process of being transferred for his court appearance in Ascension Parish where he is expected to plead guilty to two more counts of first-degree murder.

District Attorney Scott Perrilloux said Theriot will be serving out his sentence in Angola. He will be in court in Ascension Parish around 1:30 p.m. for the charges there.

Dakota Theriot, charged with murdering five people in a shooting spree that spanned multiple parishes in 2019, pleaded guilty Wednesday to all five killings.

Theriot, who was 21 years old at the time shootings, first took a plea agreement in Livingston Parish, where he killed his girlfriend — Summer Ernest — along with her brother and father, Tanner and Billy Ernest.

"This was the best for us," one family member said outside the court Wednesday. "Just get it over with."

After the Livingston Parish murders, prosecutors say Theriot then drove to Ascension Parish, where he was charged with killing his mother and father. He pleaded guilty to two more counts of first-degree murder in Ascension Parish later that Wednesday afternoon.

The plea agreement means he will get five life sentences but avoids the death penalty.
