The 82-year-old Metairie man accused of gunning down his next-door neighbor, ostentatious LSU superfan Lee “Big Lee” Martin, after a years-long feud, has died before his criminal case could go to trial, Jefferson Parish court records show.
Wayne Higgins died April 28. His cause of death was not immediately available though his obituary noted it came after a long illness.

Wayne Higgins was arrested and booked with second-degree murder in the death of Lee "Big Lee" Martin on May 5, 2018.(JPSO)
The Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday dismissed the second-degree murder charge against Higgins in the wake of his death, court records said.
Higgins, a retired plumber, and Martin, a 53-year-old tow truck driver, lived next door to each other in the 600 block of Bonnabel Boulevard. Martin’s unmistakable home was a shrine to LSU, festooned inside and out with purple and gold and a tiger motif.

May the path to his pearly gates be lined with good, high quality hose pipe. And may every hose pipe he may use in Heaven be truly "No-kink".

True, but in this case it doesn't seem like anyone was mad at the guy, including the justice system.

Four years and no trial. This is exactly what is wrong with our justice system. What the hell ever happened to the fair and speedy trial mantra?

May the Sprinkler be outside the reach of his gravesite.
