JPSO investigates fatal shooting in Metairie
Fructuoso, of Metairie, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after authorities discovered him wounded inside a vehicle in the 2600 block of the service road about 10:47 p.m.
Fructuoso died of a gunshot wound to the head, said Mark Bone, chief death investigator for the coroner’s office.
JPSO had not identified a suspect nor had any arrests been made as of Monday afternoon, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the department.
Investigators suspect the shooting began as a “disturbance” in Fat City. The incident led to a car chase involving Fructuoso and the unidentified perpetrator.
At some point, the suspect shot into Fructuoso’s vehicle, injuring him, Rivarde said. Fructuoso’s passengers were not wounded.
The case is still under investigation.
