New Orleans man arrested in January killing of two Donaldsonville men - The Advocate
The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office homicide squad “will continue to concentrate their efforts on identifying others that are responsible for the double murder,” Sheriff Jeff Wiley said in a news release Friday. Jackson, 26, of 7815 Sand St. , New Orleans, was arrested Thursday and booked into Ascension Parish Jail on two counts of first-degree murder, Wiley said. New Orleans police officers and agents with the U. S. Marshals Service picked up Jackson at his home in New Orleans East on Thursday, said Garry Flot, New Orleans police spokesman. 26, at close to 3:30 p. m. , Nichols, 37, was gunned down and killed in his front yard at 178 Latino St. , a quiet street off La. 308 lined with large lots and neat homes and trailer homes. Booker, a 29-year-old Prairieville man who had worked in the pressure-washing business that Nichols had started a few months earlier, was found shot in the doorway of Nichols’ home and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died a short time... The crime scene investigation findings suggest a drug-related crime, with the possible motive of robbery, after heroin was found in Nichols’ home, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Booker’s vehicle, a 2007 white Dodge Magnum stolen from Nichols’ driveway at the time of the homicide, was later found in the New Orleans area after it was set. Source: theadvocate.com
