On March 18, 2017, the city of New Orleans was shaken by a horrific act of violence that claimed the lives of three individuals, including 57-year-old Catherine Caufield. The incident occurred on Brutus Street in New Orleans East, where Caufield, along with Clifton Norbert Jr., 66, and Joseph Davis, 58, were found dead. The nature of the crime was brutal, leaving the community in shock and mourning.
Catherine Caufield was a native and lifelong resident of New Orleans. She pursued her education at Street Academy and later attended Stevenson's Academy of Hair Design. Catherine was a devoted mother to Aleshia Nicole Goodlow-Shakir and a loving grandmother to Kaysaan and Diyari. Her family and friends remember her as a caring and dedicated individual who touched the lives of many.
In the wake of the triple homicide, the New Orleans Police Department launched an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Caufield, Norbert, and Davis. Despite efforts by law enforcement, details about the motive and perpetrator(s) remain scarce, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The lack of information has left the victims' families and the community seeking answers and justice.
The tragic loss of Catherine Caufield and the other victims prompted an outpouring of grief and support from the New Orleans community. Vigils and memorials were held to honor their memories, and organizations advocating against gun violence highlighted the incident as a somber reminder of the ongoing issues facing the city.

He was a criminal, an abuser, likely who didn't want to face justice of his actions and took his own life because he could not face the consequences of what he did. The victims have told the family his crimes, with evidence. The family knows he was arrested and convicted of possession of CSAM. They know who and what he was. And they're all so equally sick they live in comfort that the victims don't want to retraumatize themselves over everything he put them through. Dont support this families sick parade of using a monster to get sympathy. He was never ashamed of who he was. He loudly boasted his crimes and justified them. The family shouldn't sit there and pretend, how far from reality are they to sit and post this man publicly on news outlets, websites, knowing who he is. Do they need attention that badly? They don't want the attention from the truth. The victims will never get justice. Do not pray for him o
