Chaos Ensues After Restaurant Murder/Suicide


"BATON ROUGE, LA — Two men were shot and killed Friday afternoon in a murder-suicide at T.J. Ribs on Acadian.

"Police say Raymond Levie and Shawn Jones were sitting at a table eating together when Jones pulled out a gun and shot Levie multiple times before turning the gun on himself.

"It happened at 5:30 p.m. when police say Jones began firing in front of several employees and patrons. Several witnesses on the scene describe chaos inside the restaurant.

"`It sounded like balloons popping and everyone yelling get down and the next thing I knew is what am I going to do now,` said Curtis Habey who was just a few tables away.

"Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. Police say Levie's girlfriend was the sister of the alleged shooter, Shawn Jones. The motive for the shooting is unknown.

"Police are looking at surveillance tape to determine the chain of events. Levie worked for the EBR Coroner's Office."
