The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting in Metairie that left a motorist dead Friday night (May 17).
Man shot dead in Metairie Friday night ID’d by coroner’s office
Luis Martinez, 28, of Metairie, was booked Tuesday with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, according to an arrest report.
Martinez is accused in the death of Jesus Fructuoso, 35, of Metairie.
Details about the shooting are still thin. The Sheriff’s Office has said there was a “disturbance” somewhere in Fat City Friday just before 10:47 p.m. that kicked off a chase involving two vehicles – one driven by Fructuoso.
Someone from the other car shot at Fructuoso’s vehicle. The Sheriff’s Office has not said whether the gunfire occurred during the chase or near the 2600 block of the North Interstate 10 Service Road, where Fructuoso’s car came to a stop after he was fatally wounded.
Fructuoso was pronounced dead at the scene of a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. His passengers were not injured, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Martinez was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, where he was being held without bond Tuesday afternoon. Martinez was also booked as a fugitive from Kenner police.
