On a tragic day in New Orleans, the life of 57-year-old Catherine Caufield was brutally cut short. On March 18, 2017, she was found deceased on Brutus Street in New Orleans East, the victim of a triple homicide that also claimed the lives of two men, 66-year-old Clifton Norbert Jr. and 58-year-old Joseph Davis. The violent nature of their deaths sent shockwaves through the local community.
Catherine, a lifelong resident of New Orleans, was a mother to her daughter, Aleshia Nicole
Goodlow-Shakir, and a doting grandmother to Kaysaan and Diyari. She had pursued an education at Street Academy and later attended Stevenson's Academy of Hair Design. Her family and friends remember her as a caring and dedicated individual.
In the aftermath of the grim discovery, the New Orleans Police Department launched an investigation into the triple homicide. Despite their efforts, the case has grown cold. Details regarding a motive or potential perpetrators have remained elusive, and to this day, no arrests have been made in connection with the murders of Catherine Caufield, Clifton Norbert Jr., and Joseph Davis. The lack of resolution has left their families and the community searching for answers and yearning for justice.
