Louisiana Man Arrested Immediately for Accidental Shooting Death

Local news reports

A Harvey man is in custody in connection with a fatal shooting that he described as an accident, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. 

Around midnight on Monday, just before the shooting, Phillip McClendon, 28, and another man were drinking in the victim’s garage, according to a witness.

When McClendon was interviewed by investigators, he said the shooting of Robert Casbon, 32, was accidental.

The gun has not been recovered, according to JPSO.

McClendon was transported to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center and booked with negligent homicide and possession of a handgun as a felon.

He is currently on parole for a narcotics violation and aggravated battery.

There are a few ways to ensure that you're arrested immediately for a negligent discharge. This guy had all of them.

  1. He didnt even need to shoot anyone. The felon thing was enough. I'm sure they'll look at this one pretty hard.
