A 27-year-old Nigerian man, Chukwuebuka Eweni, has been arrested in New Orleans, United States, after allegedly killing his father and stabbing his two sisters during a domestic incident on Pebble Street.

The deceased, Samuel Eweni, was reportedly a computer science professor at Southern University at New Orleans.

According to the New Orleans Police Department, the attack occurred around 9:59 p.m. on November 11, 2025. Officers found Samuel Eweni unresponsive with fatal stab wounds and his two adult daughters injured.

Chukwuebuka Eweni was located in Jefferson Parish and is currently in law enforcement custody, undergoing medical evaluation at a local facility. Family sources noted that Eweni has a history of mental illness, though he had never previously exhibited violent behavior.

One of the sisters has been discharged from the hospital, while the other remains under treatment but is expected to recover.

Police have obtained an arrest warrant against Eweni on one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will confirm the identity of the deceased and the official cause of death following an autopsy and next-of-kin notification.
