Kimani Williams was 16 when he was killed in a shooting near the 3100 block of Paris Avenue in New Orleans on June 27, 2017. The New Orleans Police Department treated the death as a homicide and investigators appealed publicly in the weeks after the shooting for help identifying two unknown males thought to have information. The detectives said those men were not being sought as suspects but as persons of interest who might provide details to advance the investigation.

Reporting and memorial records confirm the date and location but do not name a shooter or describe an arrest or prosecution connected to Williams’s death. The case remains publicly unresolved, with the family left without the closure that comes from answers. If anyone knew Kimani or has information about the events near Paris Avenue that night, please share what you know with investigators.
