A Jefferson Parish jury deliberated just 45 minutes before finding Jalen Harvey, the man accused of killing a New Orleans real estate agent while posing as a prospective buyer for a motorcycle the victim advertised online, guilty of first-degree murder Thursday night, the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office said.

Harvey, 22, was also found guilty of obstruction of justice and monetary instrument abuse in connection with the fatal shooting of Joseph Vindel, 29. Vindel was shot to death March 7, 2021, after being lured to Harvey's Manhattan Boulevard apartment complex in the community of Harvey.Harvey reached out to Vindel after Vindel advertised his red Honda dirt bike for sale using the online marketplace app OfferUp, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Detective Kurt Zeagler testified during an earlier hearing in the case.

Vindel left his Uptown home about 10 a.m., telling his girlfriend he would return shortly, according to Zeagler. He had a brief text exchange with his father right after he left the house. After that, Vindel was never heard from again,

Prosecutors accused Harvey of scheming to rob Vindel by paying for the bike with fake movie prop cash. But the transaction took a deadly turn when Harvey shot Vindel multiple times as the Vindel sat inside his vehicle.
I hope this animal gets passed around in Angola

At least he was tried in Jefferson Parish and justice was done.

Is this the one where they found his body in a car in the Garden District?

The dude like put the dirt bike in his victim's car, drove the car to the Garden District with his body in it. Then dumped it and drove the dirt bike back to Harvery.

That’s very sad for Joseph and his family.

I wish these people would keep this violence contained to their own communities rather than ruin the lives of those who are contributing members of society

Damn I thought that was Dur Dur for a minute. It’s so hard to tell them apart usually.

To be fair - the victim went to the guy's community.

"Yo man, I want your bike - drive out here to the hood and I'll buy it."

"No, I'm good. Just meet me in front of the Starbucks around the corner from here."

Meeting in front of the police station is the only answer.

You mean like when black guys go jogging thru a white community in Georgia and two white guys end up killing him?

White supremacy is the biggest problem we face.

When selling something of value, do you not ensure your safety to a reasonable degree so this kind of thing doesn't happen

No, but if you CHOOSE to go to the hood, with a thing you're trying to sell for money - it doesn't seem like the biggest leap to think you're going to get robbed of your thing.

The murderer is still a massive POS, who hopefully enjoys prison sex, but the guy fricked up.

I'm not going to the hood, or some rando's house in the country or an empty warehouse to meet some internet rando, to be robbed of my property and/or money and/or whatever else happens once you get to that point.

Meet me in a public place, or GTF on down the road.

again, you think it’s Joseph’s fault this person shot him multiple times, killing him, while he sat in his vehicle?
