Breaking News: Jeff Parish Also Dangerous

A man calls NOMB as we are updating the blog yesterday.
"You know that man that was shot on Pauger," he asks.
"Yep."
"That's Curtis' son."

Curtis, a quiet big man with big hands, worked with one of our editors when he was doing construction after the storm. According to the man that called, Curtis had remarked only a day earlier that, "that boy wasn't going to make it to see next week."
Curtis was at work the on the day following the shooting.

New Orleans police are investigating the fatal shooting of a man in the 100 block of West Park Court shortly before 5 a.m. He was identified as Julian Mathins, 19, of New Orleans, by John Gagliano, chief investigator for the New Orleans coroner's office.
