Police suspect Kenner woman killed 3 children, herself in their house

A woman and three children were found shot dead Tuesday evening in their Kenner home, a pistol lying nearby. The house had been seized for delinquent payments on the mortgage, and police said it appeared the woman killed the children then took her own life.

Kenner police were called about 5:30 p.m. to 3821 East Louisiana State Drive. The woman's companion, Ronald Peters, had arrived home from work after being away since 6 a.m., police said

He called out to his family and, receiving no response, went upstairs where he found all four bodies in a bed, the woman's body lying across those of the children, Chief Steve Caraway said.

A semiautomatic pistol was lying at the foot of the bed, and Caraway said investigators will check the woman's hands for powder burns.

The motive for the shootings was not known, but police said preliminary indications are that the woman killed the children, then herself.

"What causes that? What leads somebody to do that?" Caraway said.

He identified the dead as Nadia Braxton, 29, Kayla Peters, 12, Nayah Peters, 1 1/2 and Nyla Peters, 6 months. Braxton and the two younger children were shot in the forehead, Caraway said. Because the bodies had not yet been moved, the location of Kayla's wounds was not immediately known.

A neighbor, George Windstein, said he was shocked.

"They were good kids," he said of the family. "You never heard nothing from them. There was never any riff raff around there, nothing disruptive."

Braxton bought the house for $110,000 on July 22, 2005, barely a month before Hurricane Katrina struck, according to real estate records. She and Peters obtained a Road Home grant in 2007 and mortgaged the property for $119,500, according to the records.

On Jan. 12, 2010, Nationstar Mortgage LLC sued the couple in 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna, saying they hadn't paid the note since September 2009. They owed $117,419, the company asserted. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office seized the property in preparation for a public auction.

But on March 10, 2010, the mortgage company moved to dismiss the case, saying the loan payments had been brought up to date, according to court records.

Yet eight months later on Nov. 3, Nationstar again sued, saying the couple owed $126,639 and hadn't paid anything since April. The Sheriff's Office seized the property again on Dec. 15.

Neighbors Ernest and Doris Stewart said the man who found the bodies lived in the same house with his mother before she died. Since living there with his wife and children, Doris Stewart said, there has "never been a disturbance."

The man was outside most every weekend washing his sport utility vehicle, Ernest Stewart said. He recalled regularly seeing the woman take the older child to school.

Casey Anthony can't be tried again due to double jeopardy so if the prosecutors want to go after this women, they'd better make sure their evidence is better than circumstantial which simply implies but does not conclusively prove anything

jesus man this is fucked up. correct me if im wrong but it seems as though this lady killed her kids because she was simply having hard times and couldnt afford house or provide sufficiently for the family so she thought dying would be the best solution and didnt want to leave the kids without a mother.

although putting them up for adoption would have been a better option or at least letting the kids have a choice of their own......... but at least the mom seems like she had somehwat of a better intention than casey anthony who just straight up killed her kid.

note: im not saying that what she did was ok. still fucked up.

Ok, do you have any proof that proves she killed them beyond all reasonable doubt? No. She may well have killed them... or not. Good job you have a constitution that protects people being wrongly convicted if innocent due to a hyped up responce from the media. (Although she could have comitted the murder, but atleast if she didn't, she's not languishing in gaol.)
