| 'It could have been me': Random double murder rattles Metairie |
| 2015-04-28 |
| [NOLA] The news that two teens had been arrested in connection to the murder of David Pence and his son, Nicholas, provided small comfort to their neighbors in an upscale Metairie neighborhood, residents said. Sunday's (April 26) sunny afternoon passed in typical quiet after the announcement by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office that Dexter Allen, 17, and Haraquon Dugrey, 18, were jailed Friday. But behind the stillness, residents were uneasy. Shortly before midnight Wednesday, police said Allen slipped into the Pence's house armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, and gunned down the father and son in the living room of their one-story brick home, Sheriff Newell Normand said Sunday morning. David Pence may have been asleep in a chair when he was shot in the neck, chest and leg, Normand said. Nicholas, who had been hanging out with friends in the garage earlier that evening, was found a few feet away, shot in the face and the side of his head. |

| #1 My neighborhood. Yes, it has folks rattled - quiet, good, old neighborhood (I wouldn't call it 'upscale' though), very little crime. A couple of 'youth' from the city had carjacked a car and saw activity at the house, but by the time they got back to rob them, only the father and grown son were home, so they killed them (I thought the mother was elsewhere in the house though), presumably frustrated at not getting a big enough haul for their effort. (I had first suspected some kind of drug deal but so far, that doesn't seem to have been the case.) |
