St. Bernard Parish deputies are in an active manhunt for 22-year-old Lee Collins III after two women were shot on Easter night in the 2200 block of Centanni Drive and later died at a nearby hospital. Deputies had been called to a disturbance Sunday evening and found both victims suffering from gunshot wounds before rushing them for treatment, where they were pronounced dead. An arrest warrant has been issued charging Collins with two counts of second-degree murder.
According to WDSU, Sheriff James Pohlmann identified Collins as a family member of the two women. The outlet reports that investigators believe he took off from the scene in a stolen white 2019 Ford stake-bed truck with Louisiana license plate Z258037. Deputies were called to the area around 7:45 p.m. Sunday, and a warrant for two counts of second-degree murder has since been obtained. Anyone with a lead on Collins’ location is urged to contact the sheriff’s office, the Criminal Investigations tip line, or Crimestoppers.
