On the evening of Friday, April 26, 2019, in Harvey, Louisiana, a burst of gunfire shattered the night, leaving tragedy in its wake. When the chaos subsided, 27-year-old Ronald Jermaine Cornin, a male resident of Gretna, lay dead, his life cut short by the violence that erupted. The incident, which unfolded as a triple shooting, also claimed the life of 23-year-old Tymarlous Dewayne Norman-Jethro, and left a third individual wounded.
The shooting occurred in a residential area, prompting
an immediate response from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Investigators descended upon the scene to piece together the events that led to the deadly encounter. Despite the initial flurry of police activity and the profound loss experienced by the families of the victims, information regarding the circumstances of the shooting and a potential motive has remained scarce in the public domain.
In the years that have followed the violent deaths of Ronald Jermaine Cornin and Tymarlous Dewayne Norman-Jethro, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of any suspects in connection with the case. The investigation into the double homicide and the wounding of the third victim remains open, leaving a painful void for the loved ones of the deceased. The community continues to await answers and the delivery of justice for the lives tragically lost on that spring evening.
