Cut 10 (07) “…April of 2019.”

Authorities have located a Smith and Wesson 40 caliber handgun believed to have been in the crimes spanning a couple of weeks in the suspect’s laundry basket.  Lopinto says it’s rare that a murder suspect does not have a previous connection to the victim.

Cut 11 (11) “…with each other..”

Lopinto says investigators are uncertain how the suspect obtained the gun but says there is nothing in the civil record of the court that would have prevented him from making a lawful purchase of the firearm.

Cut 12 (09) “…nothing flagging it.”

A black man, two Hispanic men, and a white man across Metairie and New Orleans were killed in the spree but authorities are saying that the motive, while currently unclear, is not likely tied to race, but that is subject to change as the investigation continues.  Authorities say the suspect is not being cooperative.
