On March 10, 2017, at about 4:18 a.m., 10-year-old Justin Simms Jr. was found shot to death in his bedroom in a brick home on the corner of Touro and Mandolin streets in Gentilly, New Orleans. The attack also killed his mother, 30-year-old Monique Smith, and his 6-year-old brother, Jumyrin Smith. A 12-year-old sister, A’miya Smith, survived despite being shot in the face and reportedly witnessed the killing of her younger brother; she was taken to hospital in critical condition for emergency surgery.

Police say the victims were apparently sleeping when an intruder entered the home. The New Orleans Police Department has released few details about a motive. Nearly three years later investigators published a sketch of a person of interest believed to be familiar with the family and their home, but no arrests have been announced. Crimestoppers offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone see or hear anything in Gentilly around that time that might help bring answers?
