man who attempted to rob a Marrero couple at gunpoint Saturday night died after one of the robbery victims, who was armed, shot him, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

The man was reported shot in the chest at 34 Azalea Court around 8 p.m. He was taken to University Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, said Col. John Fortunato, JPSO spokesman.

Investigators learned that the man was one of three male suspects who tried to rob the couple as they were walking from their driveway to their home. But the male robbery victim was also armed and shot the perpetrator, while the other two suspects fled on foot, Fortunato said.

The identity of the man who died is being withheld pending notification of family.

Charge the other two with murder and put them away forever. You pull a gun, and it’s see you later as far as I’m concerned. If you don’t eat a bullet, you get a permanent residence at the graybar hotel.
