Sixteenth Judicial District Attorney Bo Duhe has passed away. The New Iberia native died peacefully on Saturday at the age of 62. He’s been the top prosecutor for Iberia, St. Mary and St. Martin Parishes since 2015. Iberia Parish Sheriff Tommy Romero says he had an outstanding working relationship with Duhe.
“We would reach out to Bo and he would personally come to the scene and render some assistance to us, give us some guidance with regards to the investigation,” Romero said.
Romero says Duhe’s legacy of justice and service will never be forgotten and he’ll be greatly missed.
“Just a great individual and his shoes will be hard to fill,” Romero said.
Duhe was born in New Iberia. Duhe graduated Catholic High of New Iberia and received a General Business degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana.
Duhe attended law school at Tulane and in 1993 he began working in the 16th Judicial District Attorney’s office. His primary duties involved prosecuting major felony crimes. Duhe became the D-A in 2015. Romero says Duhe worked tirelessly to bring justice to victims and their families.
“Bo was a man of a lot of integrity, fairness, compassion and kindness for the victims and their families to always seek justice,” Duhe said.
Visitation begins Tuesday night at Pellerin Funeral Home in New Iberia. His funeral is Wednesday morning at 11 AM at St. Peter’s Catholic Church.
