In a tragic incident on July 17, 2020, Robert Charles Green IV, a 50-year-old male, was fatally shot in his home in Harvey, Louisiana. The beloved husband, father, and grandfather, known affectionately as 'Pumpkin,' was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, having served from 1989 to 1991. His life was cut short in what authorities have described as a domestic dispute that escalated to a shocking act of violence.
The conflict reportedly began over a trivial matter: an argument
about Chinese food. This disagreement, however, led to a fatal confrontation. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a shooting at the residence and found Mr. Green with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
In the aftermath of the shooting, investigators quickly identified a suspect. The alleged shooter was taken into custody at the scene. It was a heart-wrenching development for the family, as the individual arrested and subsequently booked with the murder was Robert Charles Green IV's own son. According to authorities, the son fired his weapon 'until he emptied the weapon,' a grim testament to the intensity of the moment that shattered a family.
