Domestic Violence 1

New Orleans, Louisiana, July 7, 2015

A New Orleans man was shot by his girlfriend in self-defense after he strangled and beat her inside her Harvey apartment in the early morning hours of July 4, according to arrest records.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Carollo wrote that Randy Johnson had been dating the victim for 10 months when he was involved in the physical altercation in an apartment in the 4100 block of Lac du Bay Drive around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday.

He “brutally and physically abused” the woman by choking and strangling her, the report claims, and repeatedly struck her in the face and body.

The woman went to get a gun and shot Johnson, who suffered a non-life threatening wound to the groin. . . .
