NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A man accused of using a machete to hack another man to death was arrested later when he reported to work at his job at a local country club, New Orleans police said.
Don Woods, 59, faces a second-degree murder charge following his arrest when he arrived for work at the Metairie Country Club last week, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
Investigators say they recovered a video that showed Woods get out of his white Chevrolet Silverado and fight with a man in the Treme neighborhood on April 21.
Court records state that Woods began striking the man with a machete and drove away with the weapon.
The victim was taken to a hospital, where he died.
It wasn't known whether Woods has an attorney who could be reached for comment on his behalf.
