LAPLACE — A 58-year-old LaPlace man was found dead Monday afternoon, and authorities suspect foul play.

St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies responded at 3:04 p.m. Monday to an apartment in the 600 block of Bluebonnet Court in LaPlace and found an unresponsive man on the floor.

Sheriff Mike Tregre said the coroner pronounced the man dead on the scene, and authorities identified the victim as Willie Andrews, 58.

Andrews’ girlfriend told deputies she found him on the floor and his apartment in disarray.

“Detectives found no evidence of forced entry into the apartment but suspect foul play in the death of the victim, because the apartment was rummaged through,” Tregre said. “An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.”

According to Tregre, Andrews is originally from Florida and lived in Texas until moving to LaPlace approximately five years ago. He mostly stayed to himself, Tregre said, but did associate with a handful of local friends.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and interviewed neighbors.

Detectives are seeking information from anyone that knew Andrews and his daily activities. Detectives ask anyone familiar with Andrews’ most recent whereabouts or anyone who saw Andrews with other associates to call authorities.
