Jacques Phillippe Marchand, 37, was shot and killed in New Orleans East on Thursday, January 25, 2018. Described by family as the life of the party, he was remembered for his humor and warmth and left behind his wife of eight years, Adrian Morris Marchand, and their three young sons — the youngest just three months old when his father was killed. He was also a son to Gaynell Johnson Marchand and the late Warren Phillip Marchand, Sr., and a brother to his twin sister Jolie and another sister, Janine.

A lifelong New Orleans resident born March 9, 1980, Marchand graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1998 and worked for about 15 years as a sheet metal worker with Atlas Blowpipe & Sheet Metal Works, Inc., and as a member of Sheet Metal Workers International Association Local 214. The death was reported as a homicide; as of the latest report there has been no public information about suspects or arrests.

Did anyone in New Orleans East or the sheet metal community have information that could help answer who was responsible for Jacques Marchand’s killing?
