On the evening of April 18, 2015, a confrontation in the 800 block of East Terrace Street in New Sarpy, Louisiana, resulted in the death of 28-year-old Warren Sanders. Witnesses said Sanders argued with 22-year-old Sidney K. Smith about Smith’s girlfriend. The argument escalated and Smith reportedly produced a small-caliber weapon and fired multiple shots, striking Sanders in the abdomen and head. Officers found Sanders unresponsive in a ditch; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Smith fled the scene but surrendered within 24 hours at the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center and was arrested on a second-degree murder charge. He was held on $500,000 bond and had a prior disturbing-the-peace conviction. In November 2016, following a trial, Sidney Smith was convicted of manslaughter; sentencing was scheduled for December after a pre-sentence investigation.

Does anyone have information about Sanders’ life in New Sarpy or details about the night of April 18, 2015?
