NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Police say that a man who was found shot to death in New Orleans over the weekend had come to the city to plan his wedding.

News outlets, quoting family members, are reporting that 25-year-old Thomas Rolfes was in New Orleans to find a venue for his wedding next year to Elizabeth Fried when his body was found early Saturday. The New Orleans Police Department said he had been shot in the chest and died at the scene.
