Possible homicide in my neighborhood. Any help?

[swagge1]

My wife called and said that when she came home today there was a crime scene line,LEOs, and a woman crying in the street outside of a house. This is in Pin Oak subdivision in Baton Rouge near Antioch and Jefferson Hwy intersection. I've never known of any violent crimes to have occurred here since I've lived there. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm at work and can't leave right now.

Thanks

Looks like it was a hit and run, which turned into a car being stolen, then a suicide. Strange.

Strange that he picked your neighborhood. Used to live in Old Jefferson years back and it was odd to have anything like that happen..Sad story with a sad ending.

Is a lil jail time really worth killing yourself? Wow.

Reminds me of the incident that happened within the past ~2 years on Essen near the i12 overpass. If I recall correctly, LSUPD attempted to stop a vehicle on campus and the chase ended with a wreck via spike strips on Essen and the driver committing suicide.

To a normal person, jail may not be bad compared to killing yourself. However these people have already proven themselves to make poor choices based on their actions. When it comes to their suicides, what is another bad choice made after a series of other terrible choices. In the recent hit-and-run/suicide, I read that the suspect had a history of DWI. Maybe he finally got to his third DWI, making it a felony. Either way, a series of bad decisions ending in a really bad decision.

So he shot himself more than once? That's determination right there.

I too thought that odd. I am also shocked that 30 police cars fit in a single driveway!

We had one here in Slidell several years back, EMT's reported a possible DWI to a deputy who initiated a stop, trooper pulled in behind to assist, and immediately upon stopping the driver exited, started running across the highway, and in mid-stride put a gun to his head and ended it. He'd apparently been rollin' on Ecstasy at some party, had a bunch of assorted pills on him, and for still unknown reasons, offed himself in the middle of US 190, leaving some girl he'd met in the passenger seat of the car. Ruger SP-101 .357 Magnum, LARGE scatter area. Drugs make people do weird things.

As for multiple shots, only about a year to year-and-a-half ago, STPSO had a guy do himself in the parking lot behind a daiquiri shop on 190 here in Slidell, I believe it took him three tries under his chin before he got it right (wasn't on that scene, but that's the story from the EMTs).

Suicides in general, strangest I've heard in this area was a guy who, having no car or garage, taped and toweled up the window and door of the bathroom in his house and asphyxiated himself on the fumes from a gas weedeater. Creepiest was one I went to where a guy hung himself in the attic on a Thursday, due to relatively cool weather keeping temps low in the uninsulated attic, decomposition and "odor" was not very advanced, and he was only found by chance on the following Monday when a family member entered the attic to mess with the cable splitter. They'd reported him missing, including things he'd said suggestive of plans to kill himself, but unknowingly lived in the apartment through the whole weekend while he was dead in the attic.

So ? He's a bad shot...it happens, We had a trespasser about a year ago who blew both his eye's out on our land...and lived for another month, Until he finally died from his misplaced shot a month later.. from a .40 cal. I found the casing in our fire lane !

A friend of mine sold his G19 to a guy who killed himself with it once upon a time. Sad stuff. Was about to start med school.
