Family & Friends hold vigil for home intruder saying what a kind soul he was

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Family and friends of a man who was shot and killed at Suffolk Manor Apartments earlier this week held a vigil for him just two days after his death, calling on law enforcement to continue investigating.
Lake Charles police came to the area Monday morning in reference to a burglary and shots fired, according to the press release.
Capt. Kevin Kirkum said a person made an unauthorized entry into an apartment and was shot by the renter of the apartment. Police later identified the person shot as 22-year-old Ronald D. Fontenot, who died from his injuries.
Although police are continuing the investigation, those who knew Ronald searched the apartment complex hoping to find out answers themselves.
quote:
Stepmom Shawna Fontenot, who organized Wednesday’s vigil, remembered Ronald as quiet and a down-to-earth person.
“It’s easy for people to just count a person out, count them out,” Fontenot said. “Maybe because you didn’t talk to them every day, may because they wasn’t doing everything right in life. A lot of times, we just count people out and we write them off, but today, I just wanted everyone to come together and show that he is somebody.”
Layla Fontenot, 16, said her brother was her hero.
“When my daddy wasn’t there, my brother was there,” Layla said. “If I was sad, I could just call my brother and … talk to him, he be there for me. He was very loving and caring. He ain’t deserve to die like that, not like that.”
Lake Charles police are continuing the investigation but family and friends of Ronald D. Fontenot held a vigil for him, sharing words on what kind of person he was.

I made a thread when it happened last week discussing how that area has morphed over the years and is now stuck in half gentrification hell.

Yes, these things always make me cringe.
The family of the dead drug dealer is always releasing balloons at the end of The First 48.

It's worth noting that, even though they say the investigation is continuing, the LC police have said since day one that the apartment renter was within their rights to defend their home. I think the "continuing investigation" is just to appease the family complaining about it saying he was innocent.

Not trying to but it is kind of happening naturally. Lot of business coming back to the complexes here and you have this kind of stuck in the middle of it all. Now you will have new developments on the other side of the water too by the Casino. Just a really interesting area.

I feel bad because she’s a 16 year old girl who lost her brother, but that’s exactly how he deserved to die if the allegations are true.

when Sasol was announced i thought the area behind Brownsville (think Ernest St from 12th to Prien) was ripe for gentrification. there are some nice homes there and there are still middle class families
it's just that legit ghetto areas are all around. Brownsville has always held that area back. Giovanni St as well. that's why Suffolk turned. there is another section 8 apartment on Ernest, too.
