Jose Aquirre, 47, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead inside his Bayou St. John home in New Orleans on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 19, 2022. Neighbors reported an ongoing domestic dispute between Aquirre and his stepson.

Police quickly identified a suspect and later that same day arrested Aquirre’s 23-year-old stepson, Enrique J. Garcia, without incident. He was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center on a charge of second-degree murder. Sheriff’s Office records show Garcia had no prior arrests in New Orleans. Investigators say the strained relationship between the two was the motive for the fatal encounter.

Did anyone in Bayou St. John know Jose or Enrique and have details about their relationship or what led to the shooting?
