A property dispute in Marrero, Louisiana, on the evening of May 18, 2018, ended in deadly violence when 44-year-old Tonia Dardar was shot and killed. A lifelong Marrero resident and Tulane University graduate, she led Who Dat Animal Rescue and Humanitarian Relief and was remembered as a wife and mother.

Pike fatally shot both Tonia Dardar and Melissa Baous. When Tonia’s husband, Joseph Dardar Sr., returned home he encountered Pike; an exchange of gunfire followed in which Pike was fatally wounded and died at the scene. Joseph Dardar Sr. cooperated with investigators and was released pending further inquiry.
