On the morning of Friday, March 11, 2016, 30-year-old Shedric Morgan was shot and killed in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans near Lafreniere and Hamburg streets. Morgan was in his vehicle with his infant twin sons when, for reasons that remain unclear, he fled on foot and was struck by multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The twins, left in the vehicle, were physically unharmed and were later reunited with other family members. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but news reports following the incident do not describe a motive, identify suspects, or report any arrests. The family was left to cope with a sudden and violent loss.

If anyone in Gentilly that night saw what happened or has information about who shot Shedric Morgan, please come forward to help the investigation.
