Jefferson Parish authorities are booking two teen gunmen in connection with a double shooting Tuesday night in Harvey that left a 15-year-old girl dead and one of the suspects wounded.
After three days of sifting through evidence and conflicting accounts of the event that claimed Shamairie Joseph's life as she watched television with a toddler on her lap, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office investigators said Thursday (Dec. 24) they understood what transpired. The girl was slain by a stray bullet, they said, unleashed when the two armed teens tried settling a dispute by squeezing triggers.

Fortunato said investigators recovered 19 shell casings believed fired from a 9mm handgun wielded by Garrison, and "several" .22-caliber casings ejected from Levier's weapon. A Ruger .22-caliber semi-automatic handgun believed used by Levier was recovered from a garbage can in the back yard of Levier's home, Fortunato said.
A check of that gun's serial number revealed it had been stolen during an armed robbery in New Orleans earlier this month, Fortunato said. And ballistics tests have determined that the 9mm weapon, which has not been recovered, was used and fired during the commission of two attempted armed robberies and one armed robbery in which a victim was shot, Fortunato said. All three of those incidents occurred on the same night in early December, the JPSO said, but no further details of the crimes were disclosed.

I hope this keeps these two punks off the street for a long long time.
Are they angry at the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow?? Do they feel they live in a racist bigoted society??? What’s their excuse for the killing??
Nah, the one on the left wanted to kill the one on the right because of his lighter skin, he was too white!.................well it’s as good an explanation as any for a senseless killing.
Just part of LBJ’s “great society” coming to fruition.
Nah, modern jurisprudence means they’ll cop a plea to a lessor charge and with a few months in jail while awaiting trial, be sentenced to time served and be home and not to prison.
They were having a disagreement about The Federalist Papers.
I’m becoming numb to the sameness of these killings. Angry young black males shoot at each other and kill bystanders.
The stupidity of these folks is appalling. They have no ability to understand the consequences of their decisions and reactions.
Crude and violent with room temperature IQ’s.
BLM and it is all Whitey’s fault.
Whitey’s fault
This happened in Jefferson Parish, Not Orleans Parish. What that means is that they will likely have the book thrown at them. The Parishes surrounding Orleans do not take any crap from criminals. Jefferson Parish is Harry Lee’s old stomping ground.
Ah yes, “teens,” the new euphemism for you-know-what.

TEENS!
Dead giveaway.
The fault of white people, cops, guns, and climate change.
At least they post pictures of the perps.

“The Bell Curve,” 1994.
Average IQ of American blacks is about 85. That means there are plenty lower than that.
A friend on Facebook blows up any time I say Chicago has a “black” problem. He asks “How do you explain Louisiana?”
I've traveled for business of most states in the US. The black people in the south are mostly well mannered. I can't say the same of my observations in Cincinnati, OH, Chicago, IL, Baltimore, MD or at the Six Flags park in Wisconsin. The "on the ground" experience impacts my selection of places to do business.
About a third of the population of Louisiana is black. If you get outside the bigger cities the blacks folks are different. One thing I always say, whens the last time you heard of a riot in New Orleans? Or a flash mob incident? Folks are different here.
