On the evening of March 3, 2006, two women were shot and killed during a robbery at the A-1 A-1 Vegas Casino in Houma, Louisiana. Victims were 63-year-old Brenda LeBlanc Roberson and 29-year-old Schaeffer Chudney Francis. The attack was carried out by a lone gunman who entered the casino with the intent to rob it.

Brenda Roberson was a mother and grandmother and a familiar face at the casino where she worked; her family and the community mourned her loss. Schaeffer Francis was described as a young woman with her life ahead of her, also deeply mourned by family and neighbors. Investigators identified and arrested Carlos Heard in connection with the robbery and the fatal shootings; he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and confessed to the crimes.

If anyone has information about Brenda or Schaeffer, or remembers that night at the casino, please share what you know.
