Fails WP:CRIME. Seems to be nothing more than a local event. Lettlerhello • contribs 16:27, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article's sensational tone comes, at least in part, from it copying from its sources. NOLA.com substantially: very close paraphrasing and word-for-word in places. I can't check the paywalled Newsbank article. The article is otherwise a biography of one spectacular event. • Gene93k (talk) 18:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Substantially a one-event biography. Two local hoodlums made one burst of national news in a shootout with police. Coverage outside the event is routine in nature and local. • Gene93k (talk) 15:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
