A 70-Year-Old Louisiana Man Is Convicted of Murder After Shooting His Neighbor
A 70-year-old Louisiana man has been convicted of murder after shooting his next-door neighbor in a long-running feud that escalated from threats and fist fighting to fatal violence.
Lawrence Sly of Harvey faces a mandatory life sentence after a Jefferson Parish jury found him guilty of second-degree murder Friday, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
Prosecutors said Sly shot an unarmed 57-year-old Garland Webber six times outside their homes, including twice in the head, on Nov. 11, 2019.
