The Baton Rouge community is mourning the loss of Sergeant Caleb Eisworth, a decorated police officer who died after being struck by a vehicle while riding his motorcycle. The 44-year-old sergeant passed away on Sunday after sustaining severe injuries in the incident, which occurred as he was heading home from his shift.

Sgt. Eisworth served 23 years in law enforcement and was highly regarded for his bravery and dedication. During his career, he received the department’s Medal of Valor along with numerous other awards recognizing his commitment to public safety.

According to authorities, on June 16, a 41-year-old man intentionally collided with Eisworth’s motorcycle on Greenwell Springs Road, causing life-threatening injuries. The suspect was arrested the same day and has since been indicted on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, property destruction, hate crime allegations, and resisting law enforcement.

The Baton Rouge Police Department described Eisworth as a courageous and selfless officer whose service left a lasting impact on the community. Colleagues, friends, and residents are expressing deep grief over the loss of a law enforcement professional whose dedication and heroism touched countless lives.

Authorities continue to investigate the incident while offering support to Eisworth’s family and the Baton Rouge police community. A memorial service and details on public tributes are expected to be announced in the coming days.

Sgt. Caleb Eisworth’s legacy of courage, integrity, and service will be remembered by all who knew him and by the city he devoted his life to protecting.
