Shootings leave 3 dead, several wounded on West Bank of Jefferson Parish

That's West Bank, Louisiana * -

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has been dealing with a rash of violence on the West Bank in the past week that includes three homicides and several shootings, and officials are still looking for suspects and motives in several of the cases.

Sgt. Larry Dyess, a Sheriff's Office spokesman, said officials don't believe at this time that any of the homicides are connected, and the Sheriff's Office does not release details on non-fatal shootings. Two of the fatal shootings were in Terrytown, and the third was in Harvey.

The most recent shooting involved Timothy Lemon, 24, who was found dead in a Terrytown driveway in the 700 block of Frisella Street shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, according to Dyess. Deputies responded to a report of shots fired, and found Lemon's body, along with spent shell casings at a nearby intersection...
