In a quiet Metairie neighborhood on September 7, 2020, a grim discovery was made inside a home on Jade Avenue, revealing a scene that would be investigated as a tragic murder-suicide. Responding to a call to check on the residents, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies entered the house to find three individuals deceased. Among them was 55-year-old Nadine Bordelon Schroeder.
Also found at the scene was 53-year-old Warren Bordelon.
Both Schroeder and Bordelon had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. The initial investigation led authorities to believe that the incident was a murder-suicide, a harrowing conclusion for what appeared to be a peaceful suburban home.
Further investigation by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office sought to piece together the final moments of the three individuals. While the case was classified as a murder-suicide, specific details regarding the sequence of events and which of the deceased was the perpetrator were not widely publicized in the immediate aftermath. The case left a somber mark on the community, a stark reminder of the sudden and tragic nature of domestic violence. No arrests were made as the investigation pointed towards the deaths being contained within the residence.
