Andrea Grant, a 20-year-old African American woman, was shot and killed on December 23, 2014, in the driveway of a home on North Claiborne Parkway in Westwego, Louisiana. The shooting followed a domestic dispute with her 19-year-old boyfriend, Jarius Cole. A stray bullet also struck Cole’s grandmother, who was inside the residence at the time.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators located Cole a short time after the shooting. He gave conflicting accounts during questioning and later confessed to shooting Andrea Grant, saying ongoing domestic issues between them were involved. Cole was arrested and booked on one count of second-degree murder for Grant’s death and one count of attempted second-degree murder for the injury to his grandmother.

Andrea’s family and the Westwego community were left to grieve a young life ended by domestic violence. If anyone has information about Andrea, her life, or the events that night, please share what you know with investigators.
