I vaguely remember the murder of a man that lived on Fairway Drive. I believe he might have have been a well known attorney, but not positive. Older man. I think the murder took place in his home.
This would have been many years ago, probably 35-40 years
Anybody recall this?
I love the Advocate Archive Search from the EBR Liberry.

The state Pardon Board is being asked to reduce the life sentence of Bela Andrasi, a Hungarian national involved in the 1973 murder of Baton Rouge attorney H. Alva Brumfield.
Andrasi wants the board to commute his sentence to 30 years or less. The request will be heard by the board at its Jan. 9 meeting.
Brumfield, a former state senator, was murdered in May 1973 when he surprised men who were burglarizing his home on Fairway Drive, adjacent to the Baton Rouge Country Club.
Andrasi served as one of two lookout men during the burglary that went awry. He pleaded guilty to murder and received a life term. Pardon board records show he was sentenced in 1976.
Andrasi is currently serving his time at Wade Correctional Center near Homer.
He was one of several people convicted in connection with the killing.
According to prosecutors, the crime was committed by members of a professional daylight burglary ring that operated in Baton Rouge in 1973.
Information submitted at trial showed that three men were in the home when Brumfield arrived. The burglars beat Brumfield in an attempt to get him to tell them the location of a safe.
He was killed when they became fearful he might be able to identify them, according to the trial prosecutor.
Andrasi sat in a car with a walkie-talkie across the street from the Brumfield home while another man with a walkie-talkie took a position on the roof of the Brumfield home during the incident.
There was no safe in the house. Brumfield was robbed of approximately $900 and a money clip made from a $20 gold piece.

4. Derek Todd Lee murders
I have a story about DTL that my mom told me awhile back (several years ago).
A lady she graduated with lived somewhere around where DTL lived (in Baker). She was a realtor at the time.
He would pass her house going home and just over the years just kind of casually knew each other. She each other in the store, he was the guy that passed by her house everyday.. That sort of thing.
One day (my mom said soon before he was arrested. I don't know if that was days, weeks or within a month or what) he knocked on her door, she saw it was him and opened it. She said her dog gets in between him and her and he started growling and the hair on him was standing up. Evidently it wasn't something the dog usually did, but she asked if he needed something and he told her that he was thinking about moving and wanted to talk to her about selling his house.. But he sort of backed up when her dog started really growling.
He then told her that he will talk to her later about it, but he just wanted to let her know he was thinking about moving.
She thought it was kind of strange that he went to her house just to tell her that and that he would talk to her later, but she didn't think much of it other than the way her dog was acting, but then when she found out he had been arrested she couldn't believe it. At all.
But then thought about her dog and how DTL was acting kind of nervous like. She said that maybe he thought they were closing in and maybe he really did want to sell his house.. or that maybe he had plans to attack her if it wasn't for her dog.. But I always think of that story when I see anything about him.

I worked at the Iberville Parish Courthouse in college, which was also when he was arrested. The ladies in a different department told us, after he had been arrested, that he used to work for Xerox and had come to their office a few times over the years to fix their printers, but the last several times someone else came out. He replaced the other guy (SVG) and they told him they were glad that he was their new guy to work on printers because they thought the other guy (SVG) was really weird.. And evidently it wasn't a surprise at all when they found out he was a serial killer..

Taking up for a judge who was a fn moron and let out a career criminal carrying an illegal firearm who then committed murder? Interesting take even by your standards

Yes. If you watch the subway video of the carjacking, you can see a maroon truck front, which he owned a maroon vehicle at the time. He did it!

There was the LSU student that drove to Tennessee and murdered his family, dismembered them and tried to dissolve them in acid. Then drove back to BR like nothing happened

Did you happen to go to River Oaks?
Yes I went there in 5th (Mrs. Baumgardner) and 6th (Mrs. Payne) grades after my family moved to Baton Rouge in ‘72.

Sylviane Lozada - a teacher in Brusly, murdered by her husband, Oscar Lozada in 2011.
He escaped to Venezuela and couldn't be extradited from there. When the Venezuelan economy collapsed he went to Mexico and was caught there.
They found receipts where he bought cement and buckets from Home Depot or Lowes. They also found blood on the walls and ceiling of their garage

What are the most memorable deaths or murders that happened in BR?
Here’s a few off the top of my head, in order:
Three words: "Why, Gary, why?!"

Cool. I had Mrs. Baumgardner in 5th grade as well but that was the 77/78 school year. Never had Mrs. Payne but knew her. And if you ever got in trouble there you likely had to visit my mom, Verna Price.
Quick funny story. We moved Mom to Sunrise at Siegen in 2015. A year or so later a new girl started working there who had happened to go to River Oaks. She told me that when she was at River Oaks she was scared stiff of Mom. I know for sure she wasn’t the only one too. She could come across quite intimidating. The girl went on to tell me though that she was so happy to meet my mother again at Sunrise because she realized just how dear and sweet of a lady she really was.

Good one but he never really set foot in BR. He died over the Atlantic. My neighbor (at that time, about 5 houses down) was the pilot.

Yeah, I know it didn't happen here, but I was just thinking that since he was just hired as a LSU coach it could fit in this category...
I was too young to even remember when it happened, but I watched documentary on it awhile back. He was only in his 30s. That was pretty sad. The actual plane crash happened somewhere near North Carolina right? Or they found parts of the plane there or something?

Not quite BR, but the teen who murdered the kid in the hiking trails near the Bluffs in St Francisville after watching and becoming obsessed with the show Dexter always stands out to me
Posted on 8/25/21 at 10:27 am to theantiquetiger
Also, what about that guy in the early 90s.. I think he was a LSU student who died from drinking too much. I think he was in a fraternity to something.. His name was Ben Win or something?
There seems there are a few that is being forgotten.
