On the evening of October 4, 2016, a shootout on Ulloa Street in New Orleans left three people dead and two wounded. Among the dead was 22-year-old Bobby Romero Basquine III, an African-American man who worked in a restaurant and helped his father as an auto mechanic. The other victims were 20-year-old Glenquel Emerson and 34-year-old Darome Hilton.

Police found multiple shell casings at a sprawling scene consistent with an exchange of gunfire between two groups. Investigators described the incident as likely group or gang-related, released a video showing people running and one person falling, and later circulated a photograph of a person of interest they wanted to talk with; authorities said that person was not being identified as a suspect. Basquine had previously testified in a federal drug-trafficking case and was the second witness tied to that case to be killed, but police reported no concrete evidence linking his testimony to the shooting.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about the October 4, 2016 Ulloa Street shooting or the people involved, please come forward.
