DA Warren Montgomery reported that 20 YO Nicholas Ordogne, 20 YO Revonte Charles, 19 YO Jawaun Wilson, and 18 YO Jaydin Charles, all from Slidell, pleaded guilty before District Judge Vincent Lobello last week and received sentences of 25 to 50 years on assorted manslaughter charges.
On Friday, October 18, 2019, officers with the Slidell Police Department were dispatched to an apartment complex in Slidell in reference to a report of a shooting inside a residence. A witness, the victim’s fiancé, was asleep in the home at the time but was awoken by the sound of gun shots. In her interview, she reported seeing a black male fleeing out of the back door and gave a description of the hair and clothing.
Police canvassed the apartment and found a black ski mask and one black flip flop.
The victim died of gunshot wounds while being transported to the hospital by EMS.
Upon viewing video surveillance, Slidell Police Department Detective Michael Giardina was able to observe four males approaching and fleeing the scene. After a description of the suspected black males was relayed to all responding officers and detectives, an area search was conducted in an attempt to locate the suspects or any articles of evidence that may have been left by them.
Three of the suspects were located and transported to Slidell Police Department to be interviewed.
The fourth subject turned himself in.
Interviews with the defendants revealed that the victim was known to sell marijuana. They had a plan to rob him of his marijuana and money, but that changed when the victim resisted and Ordogne retrieved the handgun from his waistband and fired.
