A man who came to New Orleans to plan his wedding was killed in an attempted robbery on May 7, officials said Monday at a press conference.
The recently engaged man, Thomas Rolfes, 25, was identified by Orleans Parish Coroner Jeffrey Rouse.
According to Fox 8, New Orleans Police Chief Michael Harrison said Rolfes had marks on his hands, which led them to believe that there was a struggle during the robbery.
“At some point, the robbery turned deadly,” New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison said during a news conference. “By the injuries of his hands, it appears there may have been some type of struggle.”
