METAIRIE, La. (AP) - Authorities in Jefferson Parish say a man was shot and killed Wednesday night in the courtyard of his Metairie apartment complex.
Sheriff’s spokesman Glen Boyd tells The New Orleans Advocate (https://bit.ly/1hqDOJq ) that the body of 31-year-old Arthur Francis was found at about 11:40 p.m. at the Fox Run Apartments on Richland Avenue.
Boyd says witnesses told investigators they heard two or three gunshots followed by someone moaning.
When deputies arrived, they found Francis lying on the ground near the foot of a staircase.
He was shot multiple times and died at the scene, Boyd says.
The Sheriff’s Office did not immediately identify a motive or suspect in the killing of Francis.
