RIVER RIDGE, La. (WGNO) – The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says one man is now dead and another injured in what they’re calling a violent domestic situation.
Deputies say at around 4:30 a.m. Sunday 44-year-old Bobby Elder of Metairie showed up at a home on the 9000 block of Sharla Drive in River Ridge. Investigators say it’s the home his ex-girlfriend, Karen Collins, was in with her current boyfriend.
Deputies say Elder made his way inside the home and ordered the woman and her boyfriend out of bed at gun point.
