Alfortish Guilty on Fraud, Murder Case Pending | New Orleans News

A jury just found Sean Alfortish guilty on multiple fraud charges—but deadlocked on murder conspiracy counts, leaving a major part of the case unresolved. Prosecutors aren’t backing down, vowing to retry the murder charges against Alfortish and co-defendant Leon Parker, confident they’ll secure a conviction this time. The case centers on the 2020 killing of Cornelius Garrison, who allegedly worked with Alfortish on a scheme involving staged accidents and fake insurance claims. After Garrison cooperated with the FBI, prosecutors say Alfortish plotted his death—with Parker as the alleged shooter. Key witnesses, already convicted in connection with the murder, played a pivotal role, though their credibility was challenged by defense attorneys. If retrial happens, they’ll likely testify again. With fraud convictions looming, Alfortish faces serious prison time—and the prosecution is ready for another round of courtroom drama.
