The new owner has removed all LSU paraphernalia. Can’t even tell it’s his house.

What happened to the guy the did the shooting? I never heard what his punishment was.

Don’t know if he ( Wayne Higgins) ever went to trial or took a plea. Think he has been out on bond since Aug 2008. Don’t think he is great health, guess DA will let problem take care of itself

Well, for all the years he got his kicks as he tormented his neighbor, and one that was much older than him and in ill health to boot, it just seems fitting his fun should be over.

It was an Old Metairie point of interest for so long.

Last I had heard, he was in very bad health and living with family to assist him and because of his health issues he wasn't being brought to trial right away.

He was released and placed under "House Arrest" and only allowed to leave for religious reasons, Dr. visits, etc. and not allowed to be in possession of any guns and this was in the summer of 2018.

I don't recall there being any trial for this yet since I'm sure it would have made the news in some fashion.

He may have died for all I know.

I met a guy whose uncle played bass for the New Bohemians and he said that chick was a real handful.

The houses are located between I-10 and Veterans on the right hand side if heading toward the lake after getting off at Bonnabel coming from N.O.
