27-Year-Old Arrested for Killing Father, Stabbing Two Sisters in New Orleans
A 27-year-old man, Chukwuebuka Eweni, has been arrested by New Orleans police after allegedly killing his father and injuring his two sisters in a domestic attack on Pebble Street. Family members told WWL Louisiana that the deceased, Samuel Eweni, was a computer sciences professor at Southern University at New Orleans. The two injured victims were his daughters. Relatives described the attack as sudden and shocking, noting that the suspect had a history of mental illness but had never been violent before. One of the injured sisters has since been released from the hospital, while the other remains admitted but is expected to recover, according to reports. The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) confirmed that Eweni was located in Jefferson Parish and is in custody, undergoing medical evaluation. “Chukwuebuka Eweni has been located in Jefferson Parish. He is currently in law enforcement custody while undergoing medical evaluation at an area facility,” the police said in a statement obtained by PUNCH Online on Sunday. NOPD said the incident occurred around 9:59 pm on November 11, 2025. Officers responded to a report of “an aggravated battery by cutting believed to be domestic in nature.” Upon arrival, they found an unresponsive adult male with a fatal stab wound and two other adult victims with stab injuries. The two surviving victims were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Detectives confirmed Eweni as the perpetrator and said arrest warrants have been issued for one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. “This suspect is believed to be armed and dangerous,” the statement added. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will officially identify the deceased and determine the cause of death following the autopsy and notification of next of kin.
