Monroe police are actively searching for a suspect who shot at a UPS delivery driver and subsequently triggered a lengthy SWAT standoff in the city. The incident occurred on the night of October 8, 2026, at the Terra Apartments. According to investigators, the suspect fired shots through an apartment door at the delivery driver as the driver approached the building. Surveillance footage obtained by local news sources shows the UPS truck arriving at the scene, followed shortly by the arrival of multiple police vehicles. Upon entering the apartment where the shots were fired, officers found the suspect had already fled the scene before they could apprehend him. Neighbors reported that law enforcement swarmed the complex for hours, utilizing a BearCat armored vehicle and loudspeakers to negotiate with the individual inside. One witness, Tyler Hayes, described the scene as unusual, noting that officers took cover behind vehicles while attempting to talk the man down. Despite the intense tactical response and hours of negotiation, the suspect remained at large. When police eventually cleared the unit, they discovered no one was inside. The area outside the apartment is marked by bullet holes and evidence markers. UPS confirmed the driver was involved in the incident but stated that the employee was unharmed. Monroe police have reported no injuries and no arrests as of the time of this report. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant. The suspect is currently at large and has not been taken into custody.
