Drey Lewis, 23, was shot to death on the evening of March 27, 2017, on Eastern Street in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans. Authorities reported three gunmen opened fire, killing Lewis just months after he had been released from prison in September 2016.

As a teenager Lewis had been involved in a French Quarter robbery that ended with a bartender shot to death; he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in that case and served nearly eight years. A funeral for Lewis was held April 8, 2017. The shooting drew attention from his family and the community about ongoing gun violence and the difficulties of re-entering society after incarceration. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the triple-gunman killing.

Did anyone in Gentilly that night see something that could help investigators or Lewis’s family?
