A man has been arrested in two incidents in Metairie in which three people were killed in less than a day. Separate shootings on West Metairie Road had investigators tracking down clues since late last night.

"Our detectives haven't been sleeping," Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto said. 


Lopinto said homicide detectives worked quickly to identify a suspect and make an arrest, and said a SWAT team was surrounding a house nearby on Trefny Ave. as deputies were still on the scene of a double-homicide at West Metairie Ave and N. Starett Rd. earlier this evening.

"We tracked him back to a house very near that location," the sheriff said. "We have recovered a gun."

The sheriff said evidence recovered from the scene tied the suspect to both the N. Starett Rd. incident and the fatal shooting Monday at W. Metairie and Henry Landry Ave.

Lopinto said he did not want to get too detailed at this time, but would have more to release to the public tomorrow afternoon.
