UNO student died of fentanyl, ethanol intoxication

By Bob Warren


UNO student death: The death of a UNO student who arrived at a hospital unconscious after a night out at a parade with friends, died of fentanyl and ethanol intoxication, our partners at WWL-TV report. The circumstances of Ciaya Jordan Whetstone's death in February have been a mystery for her family and friends. Here's some of the background from an earlier story.


Officer arrested: A New Orleans police officer has been arrested and authorities said they found more than 100 guns and crack cocaine in his home. He was booked on drug and weapons counts, but his attorney said he vehemently denies doing anything illegal. Here’s the latest.


A birthday and a lawsuit: New Orleans loves its traditions. And two are in the news today. Hansen’s Sno-Bliz, one of the city’s most beloved snowball purveyors, has launched a court fight against an online marketer it claims is improperly using its time-honored brand. And Langenstein’s grocery is celebrating its 100th birthday with a party.


Livestreaming a crime: A disturbing crime story is developing in Baton Rouge, where authorities say a man killed woman and livestreamed it on social media. Facebook deleted the video, but duplicates have spread, James Finn reports.


Get your Fest on: The French Quarter Festival opens today. It promises a long weekend of great food and music. And there’s no cost to attend. Go listen to some great music. 


Crystal ball time: The NFL draft is but a week away, which means we're all consulting our crystal balls and Magic 8 Balls. Here's how our Saints coverage team sees the picks shake out. This week, at least.


Hope you enjoyed today’s Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us. And of course, be sure to check out NOLA.com for more news throughout the day.
