An armed security guard responsible for keeping watch over a lot full of FEMA trailers was fatally shot early Monday morning in the Gentilly neighborhood, police said.
The man, a guard contracted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was shot in the face around 5 a.m. in his guard shack, in the 2900 block of Elysian Fields Avenue. Officers responding to the scene found him inside the shack with a single gunshot wound, police said.
I slept in what was a hollowed out Winn Dixie in Boutte, LA for a number of months, some of which were spent cattycorner to this man. He was a good man. Generous. A retired cop, and was just down contracting to help his daughter get a car to get her off to college on the right foot. A classic example of a man doing his best to help his family even though he and his wife didn't see eye to eye.
His love was his daughter. He was a good man, and he deserved better than to die being shot through his right eye in a dirty, scumy, worthless, no account, POS district of a city of the same quality.
I was a security officer...Same as him working for Corporate Security Solutions and contracting for FEMA. We worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week providing armed security for FEMA Emergency group sites set up for largely, the same class of person that put a bullet in a man that is better than that whole cess pool of a city. I was working at the Bunny Friend EGS at the time he was at the Gideon's Church EGS. I was off the night he was shot....March 6 2007. I learned of his death 3 hours after it happened. 12 or so hours later, I volunteered to work that site with a friend of mine that volunteered to be the supervisor, like Mitch was. Two months later, Gideon's Church was mine as a supervisor.
Those ****ing animals that inhabit NOLA still enrage me to this day. I'll never forgive them.
Sorry, I was just trying to remember when I saw Fujita play for the Saints, and it struck me that the only landmark to remember it was when Mitch got shot. Then it stuck me this is the first time I've ever shed a tear over his death.
I figgure someone else should know. The guy died in a makeshift guard shack, and he was a decent man.
By the way, the only reason the motive was unknown, and why he got executed in a FEMA park with two other guys on duty is a mystery is because no press ever talked to us.
