Jerome Magee was 24 when he was shot and killed on September 27, 2016, in New Orleans’ St. Roch neighborhood. He was an expectant father; his son was born less than two months after his death.

Friends and family described Magee as loyal, sweet, and funny and organized a prayer walk in the community to honor him and protest the killing. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but there have been no public reports of any arrests tied to his murder.

If anyone in St. Roch that fall remembers Jerome, his movements that day, or has information about who was responsible, please come forward.
