An 18-year-old New Orleans man has been identified as the homicide victim whose body was found in Lacombe's Brier Lake subdivision, according to the St. Tammany Parish coroner's office.
Ronald Johnson died from multiple gunshot wounds, the agency said.
The Sheriff's Office has been tight-lipped about the slaying. Johnson's body was discovered early Saturday on Brittany Drive, located in the back of the heavily-wooded, upscale subdivision.
Susie Parr, who lives on the street where the body was found, said Tuesday that she and her husband heard gunshots at about 2 or 2:30 in the morning but didn't see anything. People sometimes shoot at coyotes and other predators that threaten pets, she said, so they didn't call police.
They were awakened at about 5 or 5:30 a.m. by sheriff's deputies, who Parr said went door to door on the street.
Tiffany Mitchell, who lives several doors down from where the body was found, said they didn't hear gunshots but were awakened by police.
She said that neighbors have been talking about the shooting and wondering why so little information has been forthcoming.
