Gary Adams was 23 when his body was discovered face down in the driveway of a home on the 8700 block of Dinkins Street in the Little Woods area of New Orleans East. His body was found on the morning of September 7, 2016, after residents reported hearing gunshots around 5 a.m. About an hour and fifteen minutes later, authorities arrived to find the scene that included a neighbor’s vehicle struck by gunfire and, nearby, a hat and a phone recovered as possible evidence.

The investigation has identified those items and the nearby ballistic evidence as part of the scene, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the motive for the shooting remains unknown. The case is still open and the community is awaiting answers.

If anyone knew Gary, saw activity on Dinkins Street that morning, or has information about the hat, phone, or the vehicle that was shot, please come forward.
