On June 18, 2019, 57-year-old Nicky Robeau of Harahan, Louisiana, was fatally shot while driving on West Metairie Avenue. Robeau and a friend, 45-year-old Manuel Caronia, had been out to pick up a car part for one of Robeau’s daughters when they were struck during a string of apparently random shootings in East Jefferson that terrorized the area.

Authorities identified Sean Barrette as the person responsible for a series of shootings over a short period in June 2019. The attacks included the murder of 22-year-old Isia Francisco Cadalzo-Sevilla the day before Robeau’s killing, the attempted murder of three other people, and property damage. Robeau’s family remembered him as a hardworking, devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose priority was caring for his wife and three daughters.

Barrette was arrested and later convicted on multiple counts related to the shootings. For Robeau’s first-degree murder, Barrette received a life sentence without the possibility of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence; the overall punishment included three life terms plus an additional 180 years to be served consecutively. Does anyone have memories of Nicky or information about that day that could add to the record?
