For the second time in 6 months, a pizza delivery driver is shot and killed. The NOPD is looking for the suspect(s) responsible for gunning down a Domino’s employee in the Lower Ninth Ward.
Tuesday evening, NOPD detectives combed a vacant lot searching for clues, nothing left unturned, not even a trashcan. In the same spot, just before 1 a.m., the corner of N. Roman and St. Maurice Streets was the scene of a tragic murder.
RPM Pizza identified the Domino’s employee as 36-year-old Michael Price. They say Price was gunned down while on his way to make a delivery and all he had on him, was less than $20. Price worked at the Domino’s on Franklin Avenue for over a year and was working hard to support his wife and three young children.
Last September, driver Richard Yeager was shot and killed while making a delivery in Mid-City.
If you would like to help Michael Price’s family, you can also make a donation to any Domino’s in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Anyone with information on this shooting should call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.
