Richard Bailey, 21, of New Orleans was found shot to death on Kennedy Street in St. Rose in the early morning hours of June 30, 2014. Deputies responding to reports of gunfire around 5 a.m. discovered Bailey with multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say the shooting followed a drug-related robbery gone wrong.

Earlier that night Bailey and friends had been in the French Quarter. After some of the group left a bar, Bailey encountered a group seeking mollies and drove with them to St. Rose to meet his friends. Bailey stepped out to warn his friends—David Hunter Jr., Pedro Furlan Jr., and Courtney Ward—that the new group planned to rob them. Witnesses reported that 19-year-old Joseph John Fountain pulled a gun and shot Bailey several times before fleeing.

The St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested Fountain and others who came from New Orleans; Fountain was charged with first-degree murder. Jonah Wetwiski, 19, Anthony Rotondi, 21, and a 16-year-old were charged as principals to first-degree murder, while David Hunter Jr., 17, Pedro Furlan Jr., 19, and Courtney Ward, 18, were charged with attempted distribution of drugs. Did anyone in the St. Rose or New Orleans area have information about the people involved that night?
