Alphonse Bazile, 78, and Rayshaud Green, 35, both of New Orleans, were each sentenced on September 18, 2024, by U.S. District Judge Lance M. Africk to 180 months’ incarceration, three years of supervised release and the payment of a mandatory $100 special assessment fee, after previously pleading guilty to the counts of the superseding indictment against them.
Specifically, count one charged Bazile with being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(8).
Count two charged Green with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(1), 924(a)(8), and 2. Count 3 charged Green with possession of a machine gun in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(o), 924(a)(2), and 2.
According to court documents, on August 17, 2022, New Orleans Police Department officers responded after learning that a shooting occurred at Bazile’s residence near Curran Boulevard and Haney Drive in New Orleans, LA. Surveillance footage revealed an earlier fight between juveniles outside of the residence.
Although the fight had ended and the juveniles dispersed, approximately 30 minutes later, a group of juveniles in a car returned while Bazile and Green were standing outside. A few of the juveniles exited the car, armed with firearms, and approached Bazile and Green.
Bazile told them to leave, and they did.
Green and Bazile then returned to the residence. While inside, Bazile armed himself with a .32 calibre revolver and ammunition. Green armed himself with a Polymer 80 Model P940C, a nine-millimetre firearm, with a Glock auto-sear that converted the weapon into an automatic machine gun.
Bazile and Green then exited the residence, firing at the juveniles, killing one.
On September 8, 2022, Green was arrested in New Orleans, and a search of a bedroom in Green’s residence uncovered the same firearm he used to shoot at the juveniles.
