Man gets 80 years in 2016 shooting at New Orleans East apartment


Tyrance Chancellor was sentenced to 80 years in prison for a manslaughter conviction. A jury convicted him in January in the death of 24-year-old Hasahn Shawl, who was killed inside an apartment in New Orleans East on July 21, 2016.

A New Orleans judge on Thursday (May 23) sentenced Tyrance Chancellor to 80 years in prison for manslaughter in connection with a 2016 shooting at a New Orleans East apartment that left a 24-year-old dead.

Chancellor, 37, was convicted in January in a shooting that killed Hasahn Shawl. Chancellor was acquitted after trial of obstruction of justice, a charge that stemmed from prosecutors’ contention that he tried to hide the murder weapon.

Authorities said Chancellor and his nephew, Jaquin Thomas, forced their way into a woman’s apartment at the Chateau d’Orleans complex on Chef Menteur Highway around 3:30 a.m. on July 21, 2016.

The two were texting the woman and her friend hours before the shooting, and were angry because the women stopped responding, prosecutors said.

Shawl was at the apartment getting his hair done by one of the women, according to testimony.

Thomas, who died by suicide inside the Orleans Parish jail three months after his arrest, fired the shot that killed Shawl, authorities said.

Prosecutors said at Chancellor’s trial even though he didn’t pull the trigger, he was guilty of at least manslaughter. At least twice before his trial began, Chancellor turned down an offer to plead guilty to manslaughter in exchange for a 20-year sentence.

He faced a maximum of 40 years in prison for manslaughter, but court records show prosecutors introduced evidence Thursday that showed Chancellor had a previous felony conviction. Criminal District Judge Karen Herman sentenced Chancellor to 80 years in prison as a multiple offender.

Court records show Chancellor was “restrained” due to his physical resistance in court.
