Laundromat where woman killed sex offender goes up in flames on the Northshore

Fire
STFD3

The Laundry Room Coin Laundromat caught fire overnight in Lacombe. It is the same place that a woman stabbed a convicted sex offender to death recently after she says he tried rape her.

"At approximately 11:19PM on Monday, March 11, 2024, Firefighters from STFD3 and FD4 (Mandeville Fire) responded to the report of a commercial structure fire in the 28000 block of Hwy 190," St. Tammany Fire District 3 posted. "Upon arrival, units discovered a commercial building with heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof."


Authorities say firefighters got the blaze under control at approximately 12:13 this morning.

"No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal."

The landromat was heavily damaged.

There was no initial word how much damage there was to the Food Mart immediately next door.  The two businesses are separated by less than six feet.
