Melissa Sue Decker was 23 when she was shot to death in New Orleans on the evening of Thursday, October 26, 2017, just eleven days after her birthday. The killing was one of two that night; 19-year-old Vincent Magallanes Jr. was also killed in the same incident.

Public details about where the shootings occurred and what led up to them are scarce. The New Orleans Police Department investigated the double homicide, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains open and cold, and Decker’s family continues to seek answers and justice.
