Anthony Kelly, a 23-year-old native of New Orleans, was shot in the Gentilly neighborhood on March 23, 2017. Police responded around 1:21 p.m. to a reported shooting and found Kelly in the 5000 block of Louisa Drive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital but died shortly after arrival.

The New Orleans Police Department Homicide Unit investigated for nearly a year and identified a suspect. An arrest warrant was issued for Jermaine Toussaint. On January 8, 2018, members of the NOPD Violent Offender Warrant Squad arrested 24-year-old Toussaint in the 7800 block of Chef Menteur Highway; he was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center and charged with one count of second-degree murder in Kelly’s death.

If anyone in Gentilly or the 5000 block of Louisa Drive remembers that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
