The Louisiana Committee on Parole denied parole for Gregory Walters at a July 10, 2025 hearing held at Rayburn Correctional Center. Board members pointed to public-safety concerns and opposition from law enforcement in their reasons.

Walters acknowledged responsibility for the offense and described long-term institutional employment and programming, including eight years working in facility laundry and a steady record with one minor rule violation since 2017. Family members spoke in support; Walters said his plan after release included work as a mechanic with a family employer providing housing.

The panel asked whether Walters had completed alcohol treatment and other programming; he said he had. The board took individual votes: members expressed concerns about public safety and law-enforcement opposition and voted to deny parole. The hearing concluded at 10:02 a.m. with a unanimous denial recorded.
