A horrific incident has shaken a quiet neighborhood in New Orleans, leaving a family and community in grief. Chukwuebuka Eweni, a 29-year-old Nigerian man, has been arrested and charged with stabbing his father, Samuel Eweni, a 75-year-old computer science professor at Southern University at New Orleans, and his two sisters.
The attack, which occurred on Tuesday evening, left Samuel Eweni dead and his daughters injured, with one still hospitalized in stable condition. Authorities believe Chukwuebuka, who has a history of mental health issues, was responsible for the violent outburst.
Chukwuebuka has been charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. Neighbors and relatives are struggling to understand the motive behind the attack, describing the Eweni family as peaceful and loving.
The university has expressed profound sorrow, remembering Dr. Eweni as a dedicated educator, mentor, and friend. The community is still reeling from the shock, and investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
