LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide at a home on Dolphin Drive in south Lake Charles.


quote:

Mancuso said while containing the house fire, officials may have seen what looked like an explosive device. Fire crews are working on putting out hotspots from a distance until the Louisiana State Police bomb squad arrives and gives the okay.


quote:

Mancuso said it is too early to say how the victim died, but early witness accounts indicate the suspect shot himself in his front yard after the victim died.


quote:

The suspect died at a local hospital while the victim's body was found inside the home.

Looking on Google Earth - looks like Dolphin Drive is in the middle of a run down trailer park....

When those trailers catch fire, they burn fast and hot.

There was another murder in the immediate area within the past couple of years, and to my knowledge, the guy was never found.

I was under the impression one had happened on the fish streets, possibly even Dolphin. I could be wrong.

You might be right. It was 2-3 years ago, a guy shot his wife and killed himself in the house on Glenlea.

Ah. I was referring to Joe Constance.

eta: I remember that now. That guy used to live down the street from my dad's previous home. Met him several times.
