A man accused in a Metairie homicide has been charged with threatening a witness in the case, according to Jefferson Parish court records.
1 arrested, 2nd suspect sought in Jefferson, St. Charles Parish store robberies
Carlos Osorio-Frias, 30, of Waggaman, was arrested and booked Nov. 20 in the shooting death of Shackner Lanza, 26.
Lanza’s body was discovered two days earlier inside an apartment in the 100 block of Raspberry Lane in Metairie. He died of multiple gunshot wounds, authorities said.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives suspect Osorio-Frias shot Lanza during an argument that turned into a fight.
Osorio-Frias has not been formally charged in the murder case. But the Jefferson Parish district attorney’s office filed a bill of information charging him with intimidation of a witness on March 13, court records said.
Osorio-Frias is accused of making a movement as if he was armed with a gun and gesturing for a witness to stay quiet as he left the homicide scene, according to authorities. He pleaded not guilty, court records said.
While he awaits a charging decision in the murder case, Osorio Frias is also facing a number of charges related to alleged attacks against officers at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. He is also charged with self-mutilation by a prisoner, after authorities said he pierced his hand with a toothbrush while at the facility.
Court-appointed doctors found Osorio-Frias mentally competent to stand trial in January. He returns to court for a pre-trial conference on April 15.
