The three men who killed Lafayette college student Hassan Veal at a Marrero playground had lured him to the parking lot under the guise of selling him a gun, an investigator testified. 

They had already received the $666 they asked Veal to pay in advance though a mobile cash app. But instead of the promised firearm, the 19-year-old found himself starting down the barrels of three guns with a demand for his possessions. The encounter turned deadly when the gunmen realized he had nothing else to offer, said Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office detective Steve Keller

"F--- it. Let's do it," one of the gunmen allegedly said before two of them shot Veal multiple times, Keller recounted in court. 

The detective provided the chilling accounts of Veal's death during two court hearings for the men accused of killing the University of Louisiana student. Trenton Tatum, 30, Elijah Augustus, 19, and Tyron Edwards, 20, all of Harvey, were booked with first-degree murder. Tatum is also facing charges of being a convicted felon in possession of a gun and violating his parole. 

Tatum's hearing was held Tuesday, while Augustus and Edwards' hearings were held together on Aug. 26. 

During the Sheriff's Office investigation, detectives determined it was Augustus who set up the Aug. 5 robbery-turned-homicide, Keller said. He and Veal had been communicating about the sale of a gun, and they met a few hours before the shooting so Veal could pay for the weapon, Keller said. 

Augustus instructed Veal to meet again about 10:30 p.m. to pick up the gun, at a parking lot in the 5500 block of Avery Drive, next to PARD Playground, authorities say. 

Video recorded by a nearby surveillance camera captured the entire shooting. It shows a dark Honda Accord park in the lot about 15 minutes before Veal arrived, Keller testified. Two armed men got out of the car and hide behind a nearby fence. 

When Veal arrived, accompanied by an unidentified person, he got out of his car and walked to the Accord. The two men hiding, later identified as Tatum and Augustus, rushed over, Keller said. 

As Veal moved to flee, Edwards cut him off by opening the driver's side door. He stepped out and fired a single shot in the air, producing a muzzle flash that could be seen on the video, Keller said. 

Veal stood with his hands up as Tatum, wearing a ski mask and armed with a rifle-style weapon, walked over to Veal's car and demanded the unidentified person hand over property, Keller said. Tatum walked over to the other two gunmen, and they checked Veal's pocket for valuables. 

"When they did not find any additional property, [Veal] was then ultimately shot and killed," Keller testified. 

The person who accompanied Veal drove off in his car. The three gunmen got into the Accord and fled.
