A long-running dispute in Kenner’s Susan Park neighborhood turned deadly on October 7, 2015. Cornel L. Woods was sitting in his truck with a friend when an argument with Albert Wayne Cox began. Cox walked away after threatening to return and pistol‑whip Woods, then soon returned dressed in all black with one hand hidden in his pocket.

Cox produced a handgun, fired a single shot that struck Woods in the chest, and Woods later died at a local hospital. A witness who was on the phone with Woods said they heard the shot and Woods’ final words. Kenner police identified Cox as the primary suspect and, with U.S. Marshals, arrested him at a Baton Rouge bus station the next day.

Cox was charged with second‑degree murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. In April 2017 a jury found him guilty on both counts and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus a consecutive 15 years for the firearm conviction.

Did anyone in the Susan Park neighborhood see the argument or Cox walking away and then returning that day?
