Emeal Washington, 58, was shot to death in Marrero, Louisiana, on February 11, 2013. The killing drew attention across the West Jefferson area and prompted a multi-jurisdictional investigation into closely timed shootings on the West Bank.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Valencey Sorrells of Bridge City as a suspect in Washington’s slaying and in the February shooting death of 26-year-old Corey Richardson in Westwego. In May 2013 a grand jury returned an indictment charging Sorrells with two counts of second-degree murder, one count for Washington’s death. Sorrells was arrested and held in custody pending trial.

Washington was known to some by the name Johnny.
