Clarence Harvey, 31, of Braithwaite, Louisiana, was shot dead in the early morning hours of September 29, 2022, while visiting his girlfriend at an apartment on Wall Boulevard in Harvey. The shooting occurred about 12:45 a.m.; Harvey was struck twice in the chest and once in the head and was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Authorities identified 30-year-old Donovan Lafrance of Gretna as the suspect. Lafrance had been in a relationship with the victim’s girlfriend for about five years before she ended it in 2021, citing physical abuse. Police say Lafrance had seen the couple together days before the shooting and went to the apartment, where a confrontation and gunfire followed.

Lafrance was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The case raises questions about the timeline of contacts between the ex-partners in the weeks before the killing and what warnings, if any, were made to authorities or the victim’s circle. Does anyone have information about the days leading up to September 29, 2022, or remember seeing Clarence in Harvey?
