In the late hours of a Friday night in Crowley, Louisiana, 28-year-old Cornelius Cain was with 24-year-old Jordan Andrus, both residents of the same city. The two men were sitting in a parked vehicle in the 300 block of West Second Street. Just before midnight on April 3, 2015, their lives were cut short in an act of sudden violence.
An unknown individual, described by witnesses as a Black male, approached the parked car and opened fire on Cain and Andrus.
After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene, reportedly leaving in a dark-colored Buick. The brazen attack left both men fatally wounded. When law enforcement arrived, they found a tragic scene, and a double homicide investigation was launched.
In the days that followed, the Crowley Police Department worked to piece together the events of that night. They appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. Crime Stoppers of Acadia Parish also joined the effort, offering a cash reward for any tips that would lead to an arrest in the case. The investigation into the deaths of Cornelius Cain and Jordan Andrus became a focus for the community, a stark reminder of the devastating impact of gun violence.
Despite the initial investigation and public pleas for information, the case has grown cold over the years. No arrests have been publicly announced, and the identity of the shooter remains unknown. The motive for the killings has also not been released, leaving the families of Cornelius Cain and Jordan Andrus with unanswered questions. The double homicide is now considered an unsolved cold case, a painful chapter in the city's history that awaits resolution and justice for the two young men whose lives were tragically taken.
