Joe McKnight Killed

[sickboy]

Not Hog related directly, but we did recruit Joe heavily out of Louisiana. Killed in cold blood in a road rage situation. Sad.

Damn shame.  He was tormented with really bad migraines his whole life and now this.

Very sad deal. Prayers for his family and loved ones.

He was a huge recruit (5 star) that USC stole out of Lousiana from LSU.  Condolences to his family. 2 road rage type incidents with former NFL players in New Orleans the last year or two.  Pretty sad.

Man, what a player he was.  So sad.  Gone too soon.

Pretty sure that was Percy Harvin.

I drove past that site twice in the previous two days. It's not a bad area, it happened 50 yards from the Orleans Parish line.

The shooter remained on the scene, reports are road rage, 54 year old white male was taken into custody.

It'll be interesting to hear how the events unfolded leading up to the incident

The shooter was released from custody. Such BS.

From the police PC

1) Incident started on the Miss. River Bridge, continued through Algiers (New Orleans WestBank) and ended in Jefferson Parish.

2) Three shots were fired all from the automobile, shell casings found inside the car.

3) McKnight's car was pulled up aside the shooter's and wasn't in a legal lane.

The man who raised Joe McKnight was a deputy in the JPSO, the department handling the investigation

Man sounds like New Orleans is not a good place to be driving in if you are a former NFL player. Two killed in a year?

I no longer go into the city, the hood rats that were flushed out by Katrina are back in full force X 10.
