A domestic argument in a Choudrant home on Mitcham Peach Orchard Road ended in a double homicide on August 14, 2017. The victims were 46-year-old Anthony Denicola and his 43-year-old wife, Rachel Denicola, who were found inside their residence with fatal gunshot wounds.

Authorities identified Rachel’s father, Maganbhai Patel, as the sole suspect. After the shooting Patel called 911 and waited for deputies in the driveway, surrendering without resistance. He was taken into custody at the scene and booked into the Lincoln Parish Detention Center. Investigators say a verbal altercation escalated and Patel retrieved a handgun before shooting both his son-in-law and daughter. The motive for the argument has not been publicly detailed.

Did anyone in the Choudrant area know the Denicolas or have information about what led to that August 14 argument?
