A man was killed by a neighbor as he attacked his girlfriend in a Mandeville-area subdivision early Monday (December 15, 2025) morning.
Shortly before 3 a.m. Monday, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Richland Drive in the Greenleaves Subdivision near Mandeville in reference to gunshots and located a deceased male in a yard in the 200 block of East Richland Drive and a female suffering from apparent stab wounds.
Detectives with the STPSO Major Crimes Unit learned that the female had exited through a window of a residence and was attempting to get help from neighbors after her boyfriend attacked her inside the home. The boyfriend was attacking the female victim with a knife when a neighbor exited his residence and demanded he stop. When the suspect refused and continued the attack his girlfriend, the neighbor fired his weapon, striking the suspect. The suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene. The deceased suspect has been identified by St. Tammany Parish Coroner Dr. Christopher Tape as 49-year-old Shawn Quinn.
The female was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed at this time.
“This was a violent and extremely dangerous situation that unfolded in local neighborhood during early morning hours,” Sheriff Randy Smith said. “Based on the information we have at this time, the neighbor’s actions appear to have prevented further serious injury or loss of life. Our detectives will continue to thoroughly investigate to ensure all facts are reviewed.”
