Jemond Malik Cador, 21, was shot and killed on December 6, 2021, in his Terrytown apartment on Wright Avenue during a botched armed robbery. Cador had served three years in the United States Army National Guard and was a 2018 graduate of West Jefferson High School.

An acquaintance from his Guard unit, Myron Lee, 22, organized the robbery and recruited four others, providing firearms and transportation from the Baton Rouge area. Lee kicked in Cador’s door; Cador fought back and in the struggle an accomplice, Gerald Little, shot him seven times. Little was the only person who fired a weapon. All five fled but were later stopped for speeding on Interstate 10, and firearms found in their vehicle connected them to the killing.

The five men were arrested and convicted. Myron Lee was convicted of second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery and received life plus 89 1/2 years; Gerald Little, 21, was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit armed robbery and received life; the other three men pleaded guilty to lesser charges, with two receiving 20 and 30 year terms and the third receiving 30 years. Did anyone who knew Jemond notice unusual contacts or visitors at his apartment in the weeks before December 6, 2021?
