On the evening of January 31, 2017, Lawrence Williams IV, a recent graduate of Edna Karr High School, was fatally shot in New Orleans after a basketball game at his alma mater. Williams was in a car in front of the school with Wynston Jackson when assailants approached armed with two rifles and a handgun and opened fire. Jackson died at the scene; Williams was critically wounded and later died at a hospital.

Investigators linked the ambush to gang rivalry. Jackson was identified as a member of the Ghost Gang and Williams as an associate. Authorities say members of the rival Byrd Gang targeted Jackson after a female Byrd Gang member, Briyan Love, attended the game, spotted Jackson, and alerted others. Several Byrd Gang members and associates then drove to the school with the intent to kill him; three men were later identified as the shooters.
