Double shooting leaves man dead in Jefferson




Jefferson Parish Sheriff investigators say a 28-yearly man is dead after being shot in the head.

Spokesman Colonel John Fortunado says deputies responded to 4448 Orleans Avenue this morning just before 4 a.m. Police say man had called to report that his neighbor had been shot.

The victim, a 45-year-old man, told responding officers that he and a friend were shot while driving in the area of Newsman and Jefferson Hwy.   

The man said that his friend was still in a vehicle near the convenience store at Newman and Jefferson Hwy.

At that intersection, officers found the second victim lying inside a dark-colored pickup with a gunshot wound to the head. That victim, described only as a 28-year-old white male, was pronounced dead on arrival at University Hospital.

The surviving victim, Joseph Bowdoin, told homicide investigators that he had been at a bar in Metairie near the intersection of North Woodlawn Drive and Airline Drive prior to the shooting, where he'd gotten into a fight in the bar's parking lot.

Bowdoin said that after a friend arrived and offered him a ride home, someone opened fire on him and the now-dead friend as they turned onto Jefferson Highway from Central Avenue.

Boudoin could not provide investigators with any information on who the shooter was or a vehicle description.   

Anyone with information in this matter is asked to call the JPSO homicide division at 364-5300 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
