Warehouse worker shot to death

[Arthur J. Pennison Jr.] Lafourche Parish Sheriff's deputies are
investigating the early morning shooting death of a worker at the
Evangeline Maid Bread Warehouse at 1398 West Thibodaux Bypass Road. A
bread delivery salesman arriving at the warehouse this morning found
Arthur J. Pennison Jr., 44 of 1501 B Talbot Ave., lying on the floor of
the office shot once in the head and twice in the left back, the
sheriff's office reported. He was shot with a .38- caliber weapon.
Lafourche deputies were called to the scene at about 2:45 a.m. Deputies
were told that Pennison left home between 10:30 and 11 p.m. as usual to
load the bread truck for the incoming bread salesman. Pennison had
apparently been at work for about 30 to 45 minutes when the shooting
occurred, a spokesman for the sheriff's office said. One truck was
almost completely loaded, he said. The shooting is still under
investigation and no motive has yet been determined. Robbery has been
virtually ruled out as a motive, because there was little of value in
the warehouse except bread and cakes. The warehouse is located in an
isolated area and there are only a few other businesses nearby. There
are no homes in the area and no one reported hearing or seeing anything
suspicious, the sheriff's spokesman said.
