"Joseph \"Joe Joe\" Rideau (September 30, 1979 - October 28, 2001) and Christopher \"Chris\" Rideau (April 5, 1981- July 10, 2011), were well known criminals from New Orleans, Louisiana. Authorities said the brothers terrorized the streets of New Orleans and built a reputation as brazen gangsters. For years the duo were implicated in a host of crimes, but they were rarely convicted because of reluctant witnesses and missing evidence that doomed cases. In 2001 the brothers crime sprees would come to an end after a violent stand off in which the elder brother Joseph was killed. The wild incident made national headlines in the media. Christopher was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the incident and was released from prison in 2010 with time off for good behavior. In 2011, he was viciously gunned down in New Orleans."@en . . . . . . . .
