On the evening of Sunday, April 25, 2021, a domestic disturbance at a Harahan home on Haroleans Street ended with the death of 62-year-old Lisa Drezinski Arseneaux. Witnesses reported Lisa’s husband, 63-year-old David Arseneaux, holding a .40 caliber handgun and restraining her as she tried to flee. He repeatedly pointed the weapon at her and reportedly held her hostage before opening fire.

Harahan police officers arrived and attempted to de-escalate the situation. Two officers fired in response after David Arseneaux opened fire, and both victims were taken to a local hospital. Lisa was pronounced dead; an autopsy found she died of multiple gunshot wounds and that the recovered projectiles matched the caliber of the handgun carried by her husband, indicating she was not hit by police gunfire. David Arseneaux was hospitalized in critical condition and subsequently arrested, charged with first-degree murder and second-degree kidnapping in connection with Lisa’s death.

Did anyone in Harahan know the Arseneaux family or witness the events that night?
