Working as a field reporter for channel 5, he covered the death of Tony Derazio when gunmen stormed The Royal Hotel in Downtown. He later reported on the death of Senator Jacobs in a fiery explosion aboard a riverboat in Bayou Fantom, along with local businessman Lou Marcano and several wealthy donors who were there to attend a fundraiser for the senator.
He was also on the scene in Frisco Fields as one of the city's most prominent citizens, Remy Duvall, was savagely murdered after being bound to a cross and set on fire. When asked for comment at the scene, Police Chief Earl Wilson stated:
- "It's those goddamn niggers! Every last one of them needs to be rounded up and shot!"
When the Reporter remarked how that was "quite a statement", Chief Wilson went on to say:
- "You need to wipe the shit out of your eyes son, take a look around. There's a goddamn war goin' on!"
His report on this story was never aired.
