Marcus Brown was 29 and working at a Church’s Chicken in the Gentilly neighborhood when he was killed on the night of Thursday, May 19, 2016. Friends and family say he had been expressing fear in the spring of 2016, telling people he felt watched and wanted to leave New Orleans, but he remained in the city and kept working.

Shortly before midnight on May 19, an unknown male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt pulled tightly around his face stepped from the shadows of the parking lot and opened fire, striking Marcus multiple times. The shooter fled and investigators found few leads; there is no known motive and no arrests have ever been announced. The case remains an unsolved homicide.

If anyone was in Gentilly that night or knew Marcus’s movements or who might have been watching him, please share what you know with the authorities.
