Jeremy Norrman, 29, of Waggaman, Louisiana, was killed after a planned gun sale turned into a pair of competing robberies in the early hours of February 16, 2024. Norrman, a father of two young daughters, arranged to buy a firearm and intended to rob the seller; he recruited 57-year-old Booker McKinley as his getaway driver. The sellers, 24-year-old Tommy Encalade and 21-year-old Marlon Borras Jr., were allegedly planning to rob Norrman as well.

The meeting occurred about 3 a.m. in the kitchen of a home on Dolores Drive in Marrero. During the confrontation, Encalade allegedly shot Norrman in the leg. Norrman managed to get back into McKinley’s truck; instead of heading to the hospital less than five miles away, McKinley drove around for roughly an hour and did not report the injured man when stopped by a deputy. Norrman was taken to West Jefferson Medical Center at about 4:10 a.m. and died from his wound.

Investigators arrested five people: McKinley was taken into custody the day of the shooting and later charged with manslaughter; Johnney Cates Jr. and Seth Fridley were charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly cleaning the bloody kitchen; Marlon Borras Jr. and Tommy Encalade were also arrested, and a warrant had been issued for Encalade. All five were in custody as of April 2024.
