On the evening of February 10, 2017, Norma Perez Lino, 37, was killed by a stray bullet during a shooting in New Orleans’ Central City neighborhood. She had recently moved from Honduras to join her husband and was building a new life with her family when the incident occurred. Several others were reported injured in the same outbreak of gunfire; reports describe Norma as an innocent bystander who suffered the ultimate consequence of that violence.

Local coverage at the time stressed the tragedy of her recent arrival and her role as a mother. Public information since then does not detail any arrests or publicly identified suspects, and the death remains unresolved for her loved ones and the community. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what led to the gunfire that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
