On April 22, 2015, a celebration in a Metairie, Louisiana suburb ended in a brutal double homicide. Twenty-five-year-old Nicholas Pence and his father, 56-year-old David Pence, were found shot to death in their Clifford Drive home after a night of friends gathering in the family garage. Elizabeth Pence was awakened by gunfire and breaking glass and discovered her husband in a chair and her son on the floor, both with multiple gunshot wounds; Nicholas’s injuries proved fatal despite emergency efforts guided by the 911 dispatcher.

Investigators found no obvious signs of forced entry and later tied the killings to a series of nearby car burglaries. Surveillance footage showed 17-year-old Dexter Allen attempting vehicle break-ins, and fingerprint evidence linked Allen and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Haraquon Degruy, to a burglary one street over. Police say Allen entered the Pence home to steal a purse and was armed with a shotgun stolen from an Orleans Parish deputy; David Pence was shot in his recliner, and Nicholas was shot after being forced to the ground.

Two days after the murders, Allen and Degruy were arrested. Dexter Allen was later convicted of two counts of second-degree murder and multiple counts of burglary; he was sentenced to life in prison without parole in April 2017. Did anyone in the neighborhood notice suspicious activity around that house in April 2015?
