Woman is fatally shot in 7th Ward
By Leslie Williams
Staff writer
Two New Orleans residents were shot, one fatally, in a sport utility vehicle parked beside a large oak tree in front of a 7th Ward home Sunday minutes before sunrise.
Tamara Gabriel, 27, of Algiers, died later Sunday. She and a 22-year-old man were shot multiple times in the 2700 block of George 'Nick' Connor Drive, formerly Havana Street, police spokesman Garry Flot said. The man drove the Porsche Cayenne to a hospital and 'collapsed at the entrance to the hospital's emergency room,' Flot said.
The man was reported in stable condition. Gabriel died Sunday at 4 p.m. at Touro Infirmary, said chief coroner's investigator John Gagliano, who released the identity. He said she had a gunshot wound to the head.
A neighbor, Philomenia Johnson, said her 10-year-old daughter was so frightened by the sound of gunfire just outside their home that the girl was unable to move.
'We had to pick her up,' said Johnson, who has been living with her family in a trailer next to her home. The family intends to repair the home once it receives money from the Road Home program for homeowners with property damage from Hurricane Katrina.
Investigators were attempting to determine the motive for the shooting, Flot said.
Johnson, who said she called police at 5:26 a.m. to report hearing five or six shots, noted that people, sometimes after leaving a nearby bar, will park in the relatively secluded spot. Johnson said neither she nor a friend saw anything outside other than police sealing off the area with yellow tape.
By the time most people were headed to church, the only sign of what had occurred was a small pile of shattered window glass in the street.
Johnson said her neighborhood, which is populated mostly by older residents, enjoys peace and quiet much of the time. When trouble does come, she said, it arrives like it did Sunday morning.
'They bring it here,' she said.

Toddler's death labeled murder
From staff reports
A New Orleans man has been booked with second-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter, who suffered a skull fracture and other injuries attributed to child abuse at her Algiers home, New Orleans authorities said.
New Orleans police said Chrishondolay Lamothe received her injuries Saturday about 4 p.m. at her home in the 1400 block of Southlawn Boulevard.
Police said they were notified Saturday after Chrishondolay died at a hospital of injuries.
On Sunday, after an autopsy confirmed the girl's fatal injuries, police booked George Lewis, 21, whose last known address was on Abundance Street, with second-degree murder, said Garry Flot, a police public information officer.
Police said they could not discuss how Lewis allegedly inflicted the injuries on the toddler, or a motive, because the investigation is still ongoing.
Chrishondolay died Saturday at 5:16 p.m. at Ochsner West Bank Medical Center-West Bank (formerly Meadowcrest Hospital). The next day, after an autopsy, Coroner Frank Minyard classified the death as homicide.
Chrishondolay suffered head injuries, including a skull fracture, and multiple internal injuries, said chief coroner's investigator John Gagliano, who released her identity. He said she was a victim of child abuse.
Police did not identify Chrishondolay's mother. She was not present when the toddler was injured, police said. Lewis is not the father of the victim.
Detective Raymond Ambose is continuing an investigation. He can be reached at (504) 658-5523.

http://www.nola.com/newslogs/tpupdates/i..._22.html#228109 Autopsy reveals victim strangled
Coroner IDs teen slain in separate case
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
By Bob Ussery
A man found dead Sunday morning at Annunciation and Austerlitz streets was strangled, an autopsy has revealed.
There were no obvious injuries when Christopher Ruth's body was found Sunday morning, the coroner's office said, but the autopsy showed that Ruth, 31, had been strangled, prompting coroner Frank Minyard to classify the death as New Orleans' 11th slaying of the year.
Bruises that became visible after the autopsy suggested the killing occurred after a fight, chief coroner's investigator John Gagliano said Tuesday. He said Ruth was strangled with hands.

Ruth, of New Orleans, was found about 6:15 a.m., said Garry Flot, a public information officer for New Orleans police. He said city Emergency Medical Services workers tried unsuccessfully to revive Ruth.
Ruth died in the 3900 block of Annunciation, between Gen. Taylor and Constantinople streets, partly in the roadway and partly on the grass, Gagliano said.
Anyone with information can call homicide detectives at (504) 658-5300.
In a separate incident, the coroner's office released the identity of a 15-year-old murder victim.
Hilary Campbell of Boutte was found shot many times in the head and chest on Jan. 3 in the afternoon in a remote grassy area near Industry and Press streets, Gagliano said.
Campbell's identity came to light when someone recognized descriptions of Campbell's tattoos and told relatives the tattoos belonged Campbell, Gagliano said. He said the tattoos, 'Young' and 'Felaz,' stood for Young Fellows.
Campbell's father, Hilary Campbell Sr. of Boutte, said someone called his daughter Saturday and told her his son was at the coroner's office. Campbell said he did not know how the caller knew it was his son.
Campbell said he was unaware of the tattoos because his son got them after he ran away from home and went to New Orleans, where his mother and sister live. Campbell said he had legal custody of his son. Campbell said his son was large for his age, which was why authorities estimated he was in his early or mid-20s even though he was only 15.
Beginning Nov. 16, the youth fled to New Orleans twice. Each time he was arrested by New Orleans police for curfew violations and turned over to the father, Campbell said.
On one occasion, he was placed in Campbell's custody in Algiers. Campbell tried to drive his son to Boutte, but before he could get out of Algiers, his son jumped out of Campbell's truck at a red light and fled.

'He called me on the phone after Christmas and told me he was coming home. That was the last I heard from him,' Campbell said.
He said his daughter saw his son for the last time on New Year's Eve in New Orleans.
Campbell said he went to a court in New Orleans Friday to obtain an arrest order for his son 'not knowing he was dead.'
Campbell, an 8th-grader at J.B. Martin Middle School in Paradis, had been suspended and placed in a court-operated school in Hahnville, his father said.
'I used to tell him all the time New Orleans was dangerous,' Campbell said.
Detective Harold Wischan, (504) 658-5300, is investigating.

'(The police) can't stop it. They can't stop it. They would have to have a police officer almost on every corner to stop this violence,' Ballet said. 'It's really up to the people. And we can't do nothing to stop it because people are scared to come forward on a lot of things, and this is the result.'
Tyrone Johnson's family believes the shooting stemmed from an armed robbery. His mother, Elvira, said violence in New Orleans would not stop any time soon.
'They are going to be satisfied when all of them is dead; all of them. All them, all the young men just like Tyrone is dead and gone. That's when they're going to be satisfied; that's only thing thats going to turn it around,' she said.
Police said they have not determined a motive for the killing, the 11th murder thus far in Orleans Parish this year.

Marguerite Doyle Johnston is sure her son was killed by someone who knew him.
Chivas Doyle of New Orleans was shot to death in the 9th Ward on Saturday, two days after his 24th birthday.
Doyle would help anyone, Johnston said Sunday, but would not let anyone he didn�t know into his FEMA mobile home in the 2500 block of Desire Street.
Doyle had many friends who were aspiring rap artists, his mother said. He did not perform music, but helped his friends by promoting their music and letting them record in the makeshift studio he had set up in his home.
Doyle died Saturday in the FEMA home of a gunshot wound to the head, said the chief coroner�s investigator John Gagliano, who, along with police, released his identity Sunday. Coroner Frank Minyard classified Doyle�s death as homicide Sunday after an autopsy showed the wound was not self-inflicted.
Johnston estimated her son was shot sometime between 7 and 11 p.m. He had driven his cousin to work about 6:35 p.m. and then returned home. Three cousins, including one who lived with Doyle, found him dead in his residence about 11 p.m.
The cousin who lived with Doyle went to Johnston�s nearby home and pounded on her door.
Johnston went to her son�s trailer and found him in a chair in front of his computer, where he had been composing an e-mail to another cousin.
�I kept calling, �Tank, Tank,� � Johnston said.
Family members called him �Tank� because he was 7 feet tall.
�I grabbed him, and he just tilted over to his right,� she said. There was something resembling a hole in the back of his head. �I kept telling him, �Wake up, wake up.� �
When Johnston managed to turn over son over, she saw that his lips were blue. �Then I knew my baby was dead,� she said. It was one day after her 49th birthday.
She believes her son was shot in the back of the head.
Johnston said their family cannot understand why anyone would want to kill her son. She said people had nothing but good to say about Doyle. He followed in her footsteps as a community activist. �If you saw me, you saw him,� she said.
After Katrina, Johnston and her son returned to New Orleans. But about the time Doyle was being discharged from a hospital where he was being treated for diabetes in December 2005, their house on Mimosa Court in Algiers burned down, she said.
They drove to her daughter�s house in Texas, but returned to New Orleans in 2006. Doyle allowed his rapper friends to stay in one of the houses they lived in. �We had 20 to 30 people in our house,� his mother said.
�He was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back. That�s why we don�t understand why,� Johnston said.
She said her son, who graduated from John McDonogh High School and attended Delgado Community College, did not take or sell drugs, and did not even smoke cigarettes. He did not get into arguments, she said.
Doyle was always trying to make people laugh, and sometimes played practical jokes �just to make people smile.� That was why some of his friends thought reports of his death Sunday were a joke, she said.
�All his friends on his MySpace page can�t believe it,� she said. �It�s not a joke. He�s dead.� The Web page for �9thwardwordman� is now filled with messages of loss and hurt from friends.
Detective Donald Clogher, (504) 658-5300, is investigating.

3 men killed in separate incidents
Woman's body found wrapped in a rug
Thursday, January 04, 2007
By Brendan McCarthy - nola.com
Three men were fatally shot in unrelated incidents Wednesday in New Orleans, and a woman's body was found wrapped in a rug in what is still an unclassified death, police and the coroner's office said.
One of the shootings took place early Wednesday evening in Central City only three blocks from a fatal shooting on Jan. 1. The other two occurred mid-afternoon Wednesday in the Desire and Bayou St. John neighborhoods. The woman's body was discovered Wednesday morning on a Lower 9th Ward street covered with a 'throw-type rug,' New Orleans police officer Garry Flot said.
In the most recent shooting, a 19-year-old New Orleans man was found lying in the street in the 2500 block of LaSalle Street with many gunshot wounds, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name wasn't released pending notification of his family, the coroner's office said. The man was shot a few blocks from where Corey Hayes, 28, was found shot to death in the 2300 block of Fourth Street Monday night.
In the shooting near Bayou St. John, a man who appeared to be in his 20s was shot once in the head around 3:30 p.m. on a sidewalk in the 2900 block of St. Ann Street, police said.
The victim died at scene, police said. His identity was not known, said John Gagliano, chief investigator for the coroner's office.
Louisiana Guardsmen on patrol found a man's body around 3:45 p.m. in a remote grassy area in the Desire neighborhood, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, the intersection of Industry and Press streets, with an apparent gunshot wound to the head, police said. He was unidentified Wednesday night, Gagliano said.
The body of a woman was dumped curbside in the 6400 block of Roder Street, police said. She had sustained trauma to her body, which had not decomposed. Authorities have not released her identity and the cause of death is under investigation.
Neighborhood residents walking down the street made the discovery around 11:45 a.m., police said.

Three men were fatally shot in unrelated incidents Wednesday in New Orleans, and a woman's body was found wrapped in a rug in what is still an unclassified death, police and the coroner's office said.
One of the shootings took place early Wednesday evening in Central City only three blocks from a fatal shooting on Jan. 1. The other two occurred mid-afternoon Wednesday in the Desire and Bayou St. John neighborhoods. The woman's body was discovered Wednesday morning on a Lower 9th Ward street covered with a 'throw-type rug,' New Orleans police officer Garry Flot said.
In the most recent shooting, a 19-year-old New Orleans man was found lying in the street in the 2500 block of LaSalle Street with many gunshot wounds, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name wasn't released pending notification of his family, the coroner's office said. The man was shot a few blocks from where Corey Hayes, 28, was found shot to death in the 2300 block of Fourth Street Monday night.
In the shooting near Bayou St. John, a man who appeared to be in his 20s was shot once in the head around 3:30 p.m. on a sidewalk in the 2900 block of St. Ann Street, police said.
