Warren J. Boobie Richard, Jr., 45, was fatally shot at his New Orleans residence on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. A husband and father, Richard lived in the Little Woods neighborhood of New Orleans East and was found inside the home on the 10800 block of Kinneil Road after New Orleans Police officers responded to a call at about 8:42 a.m. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced deceased.

Investigators say two men, disguised as construction workers, approached the house, forced one person inside at gunpoint and a violent struggle took place. Surveillance video from the victim’s system reportedly captured the assailants grabbing Richard outside the home. The New Orleans Police Department arrested 54-year-old Reginald Favaroth and charged him with one count of second-degree murder; the investigation into a second suspect is ongoing.

Does anyone who knew Warren or who was in the Little Woods area that morning have information that could help investigators?
