Bam

No autopsy required on this West Jeff piece of work:

Emergency personnel responding to the scene found two people slumped in the front seat of a 2002 Ford Taurus parked in the driveway of that address, the Sheriff's Office said.

Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh is saying that Al Queda is feeding people their own children as a means of intimidation. Atrocities big and small.

Inconsistencies

What amazes NOMB about this story is the line "last weekend". Seven shots take seven days to make the paper in Kenner

Kenner police are looking for the person who fired about seven shots into a crowd of people at a cookout last weekend, according to a police report.

Also, there seems to be some confusion over at NOPD. It seems it took them awhile to make the final determinationm on this death...


The Orleans Parish coroner's office has released the identity of a man who was shot to death on Skyview Drive in eastern New Orleans on Thursday.
An autopsy determined Jerome Banks, 27, of New Orleans was killed by a shotgun blast to the chest, said chief cororner's investigator John Gagliano, who released his identity.

We don't even feel like going on with this today. The sun is out kids. Go swimming.

White Flight

If your plan is to move to Jefferson and escape the carnage, you out of luck this week:

Chad Arceneaux, 34, was killed by a gunshot to the back in the 600 block of Emile Avenue near Westwego shortly before 11:30 p.m., said Deputy Chief Tom Gorman of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. His son, who was sitting in the back seat at the time of the incident, was not injured.

They even taking shots at the law:

Deputy Joshua Norris, 22, was the first officer to arrive at 273 Southwood Drive. As he approached the house, he was shot once in the upper right chest, according to Chief Deputy Newell Norman.

Meanwhile, over here in Orleans, we got a rapist loose up town (according to the T.V. news), sirens every night, and the last only greatest big summer festival kicking off this weekend.

BENCHMARKS

Today, NOMB, along with the City of New Orleans, and the omnipresent Times-Picayune, have an exciting announcment!

That's right folks, it's the BIG 100. We finally did it, and only half way through the year. All it took was this, apparently:

A 65-year-old man was found shot to death Sunday night alongside his former residence in the 8th Ward, police said.

Say it ain't so.

Slow Down

People, seriously, slow down:


J. Guadalupe Portillo, 49, was found dead of a single gunshot wound to his back at 1009 Tallow Tree Lane shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday night, said Col. John Fortunato, a spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

and...

On Saturday, deputies investigated a non-fatal shooting in the 2000 block of Carver Drive at about 2:15 p.m.

Drink Ice Tea, cover you head.

Busy Days, Hot Mess

Ya'll can read this one for yourselves:

Four Dead in Nine hours

When friends are visiting, its best not to bring up your blog that tracks murders, it makes the walking tour so much more tense. And don't we all want to let it slide anyway?

Also, in the urban trends hit rural areas!

A man was fatally shot Sunday night in Harvey, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.

And for good measure (not so rural)

A 30-year-old man who suffered multiple stab wounds died early Sunday at West Jefferson Medical Center, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Happy SUMMER from NOMB!
