On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, 75-year-old Mary Major was shot and killed inside her St. Bernard, Louisiana, home after an argument that escalated into gunfire. Her 55-year-old daughter, Trenelle Major Collins, was also found with mortal gunshot wounds and died despite being taken to hospital.

Authorities identified 22-year-old Lee Collins III, Mary’s grandson and Trenelle’s son, as the suspect. Investigators say Collins also fired at his father but missed, then stole a white 2019 Ford stake-bed truck from a local business and fled. A manhunt ended when Collins was located and taken into custody at AltaPointe Health in Mobile, Alabama, after staff became suspicious when he used a false name; he was arrested without incident.

Collins, described as having no prior criminal history, faces two counts of second-degree murder and is awaiting extradition to Louisiana. Are there anyone who knew Mary or Trenelle who can share details about them or their lives?
