Man Sought After St. Bernard Sheriff Says He Shot, Killed Family Members on Easter
Authorities say Collins fled in a stolen truck after the killings and was later captured in Mobile, Alabama, as extradition preparations began.
- On Monday, 22-year-old Lee Collins III was captured in Mobile, Alabama, approximately 150 miles from St. Bernard Parish, following the Easter Sunday fatal shootings of his mother and grandmother.
- The incident began Sunday night at a home on Centanni Drive when an argument between Collins and his 55-year-old mother, Trenelle Collins, turned physical; his 75-year-old grandmother, Mary Major, then intervened.
- After shooting both women, Collins allegedly fired at his father but missed before fleeing the scene in a stolen 2019 Ford stake-bed truck, according to St. Bernard Parish Sheriff James Pohlmann.
- Mobile Police Department officers identified Collins after he provided a false name at a mental health facility; he now faces two counts of second-degree murder, though Sheriff Pohlmann noted no prior criminal history.
- Staff at AltaPointe Health, a mental health facility, discovered Collins's true identity through intake procedures, prompting his arrest and extradition coordination back to St. Bernard Parish to face charges.
