Investigators reportedly believe that Duffy and the victim were part of a group that had gone fishing in Crown Point. At some point during the trip, the two got into a physical fight, which stopped but resumed once they were inside of Duffy’s vehicle.

Police say that Duffy allegedly pulled a handgun, which the two women fought over, resulting in Duffy being shot in the leg, and the victim being shot in the head.

The victim was declared dead on scene and Duffy was brought to a local hospital for treatment. Upon release from the hospital, she was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center where she is charged with manslaughter.
