    Phillip Anthony - Louisiana




    Summary of Offense:

    Convicted and sentenced to death for the triple killing at the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen in the French Quarter. On Sunday morning, December 1, 1996, in the French Quarter in New Orleans, four employees of the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, Cara LoPiccolo, Santana Meaux, Michael Witkoskie and Damien Vincent, were systematically shot, one by one, in the restaurant’s tiny walk-in cooler. The booming report of the gunshots, delivered by a potato-shrouded .357 revolver, reverberated in the cramped cooler. The ensuing silence belied the horrible scene: Cara LoPiccolo, a wife and mother of two, dead, slumped on the lifeless body of Santana Meaux, an elementary school teacher moonlighting as a waiter, across from Michael Witkoskie, a tenor with a love for music and drama, whose nearly dead body rested beside Damien Vincent, the wounded sole survivor. Meanwhile, the restaurant safe was open, with its contents, $2,549.84, save the coins, taken by the perpetrators.
