An 18-year-old found shot to death in a Lacombe neighborhood early Saturday morning was wanted on 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with a retaliatory attack on a Kenner home last year that left two people wounded, including a 10-year-old boy, Kenner police said.

Ronald Johnson's body was discovered about 3 a.m. in the 6100 block of Brittany Drive in the Briar Lake subdivision, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. Johnson had been shot multiple times and was lying in the roadway.

There was no word of arrests or a motive in the killing as of Thursday morning.

Detectives with the Kenner Police Department had been searching for Johnson. They allege he was one of four gunmen who opened fire on the sleeping residents of a house in the 3100 block of Tifton Street in Kenner just after 4 a.m. on Jan. 8, 2022.

The 10-year-old victim was shot in the torso and arm while a 19-year-old man was shot in the torso, Kenner police said.

Kenner detectives suspect the Tifton Street shooting was retaliation for the death of Kar'Nas Coleman, a 16-year-old boy who had been shot and killed in the same residence in 2021.

A 15-year-old boy who was arrested and booked with murder in Kar'Nas Coleman's death lived at the house. He was out on bail and asleep inside the residence when the retaliatory shooting occurred, police said.

I am no modern day Columbo, but I can take a shot at determining a "potential" motive.
