Infant and 4-Year Old Watch Their Parents Die in a Hail of Gunfire

A baby and four year old were spared while their parents were murdered in a hail of gunfire in New Orleans.  The children were forced to watch their parents die on the highway and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is still looking for the killers.

Willie Odom and Shawna Girod were the two victims of the incident, and their children, Odom’s son and Girod’s daughter, are left to go on without their parents.

“Multiple bullet casings line the highway,” said Glen Boyd, a spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.

In spite of being known for a broad tourism industry, New Orleans is arguably the murder capital of America.  The city has the highest per capita murder rate in the country, with most of the killings happening in black, brown and poor communities.

The mayor is attempting to launch programs to dig into the culture of violence that consistently leads to the death of children and adults of all ages.  Citizens of the city say that the justice system often leads them to die trying to fend for themselves and their families via vigilante justice.

James Robinson, a 73-year old New Orleans resident, says that the violence is worse than he can remember.

“Every time you look up, it’s a killing,” he says. “It wasn’t no killing up this way too much — not around here. But it’s happening here now. Sit on the porch, you gettin’ shot.”

    Jefferson Parish is not NEW ORLEANS. Report these things accurately. We have enough issues, please don’t associate things in other parishes with my city.

    Dark Chocolate and Freeze,

    Both of you have said a mouth full, however the KKK, neo-nazis, aryan nations, skin-head are still killing us regardless of us killing ourselves. So, what is the difference? Most police force and Army force also have KKK, etc., in them. You know in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s they lynch you and burn you and castrate you and much more. Take a look at your history on african slave trade everybody had a hand in our destiny. What about your destiny who controls it and who has your mind?

    Blacks self destruction of their own race along with assistance from the racist factions will eventually reduce the black population to virtually being almost non existence in America, no wonder why the Latinos are the largest minority population.

    Integration made them rich. We spend all of our money with them and every other non-Black business. We have about or just over $1 trillion of spending power as a group. Our dollar doesn’t circulate one time in our communities, it goes right to every other group who’ve set up businesses in our neighborhoods.

    black news is very important in white folks life. Every time you turn around, they flock to african american cites, every day all day. If i were white i wouldn’t careless less about what the black man is doing, i would rather tongue kiss my dog in the mouth, eat my cheese sandwhich and plan the next mass shooting and do the same old white folks stuff.

    It saddens me to continue to hear and see all the senseless black on black crime that pulverizes our African American communities daily. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X and other prominant civil rights activists would be disappointed greatly at the turmoil, chaos, disconnection, violence, proverty, incarceration, illiteracy, teenage pregnancy and other factors that have crippled or race in last twenty years. I wouldn’t move to New Orleans if you paided me.

    No more complaints. WE are the solution to the problem. If you are an adult, and you are not doing something RIGHT NOW to keep this out of your neighborhood you and your children will soon be next!!! Join your neighborhood organization. f you don’t have one start one. Connect with the youth in your community to get them interested in recreation and reading. STOP complaining. If you are praying for a change, as soon as you finish praying get off your b**t and DO SOMETHING! WE are the solution. Come out of hiding and act like real people.

    Everyone must be vigilant at all times. However, it seems sad when one must be more vigilant among their own kind than among those who are supposed to be the enemy. You just don’t expect to be shot while sitting on your front porch holding your grand-daughter. No matter how you slice it, we have to work on the issues at hand, issues that only we can solve.

    I Wish Father God And Lord Jesus Would Bless Me To Be Able To Get Out In The United States And Find These Worthless Pieces Of “n****r” And “cracker” Trash Before The Police Do And Let Me Shoot Them In Their Privates, Watch Them Bleed To Death And Them Contact The Police To Get The Dead Bodies. The African American Race Has Way More “n*****s males” Than Real African American MEN. We Have More REAL AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN. It Might Not Be Much Longer Before I Start Searching, Finding And Killing.

    We’ve been conditioned to assume that such incidents are the result of Black-on-Black violence. A couple is riding home at 1 am with two small children and someone sprays the car with bullets. It could be Black-on Black but it doesn’t have to be.

    Once Again….Black on Black crime and these ignorant a***s killed these two people in front of their kids. This is one of the reasons are children have some many underlying issues within themselves, because something tragic happened in front of them, therefore they have this feeling, that they a kill too and nothing will happen. Both of these children are in my prayers and I hope that they get the right counselors and counseling so that they too can hopefully be self sufficient, law-abiding citizens.
    But REMEMBER EVERYONE…..CHILDREN LIVE WHAT THEY LEARN. and hopefully they will be able to move forward and understand that God is the ruler of all and to have some faith.
