Christopher Watson was 26 when he was killed on the evening of December 25, 2015. A New Orleans Regional Transit Authority streetcar mechanic, he left a family holiday gathering to drive to work and was ambushed in his Scion tC about a half-mile from the RTA maintenance shed at the intersection of North Broad and Bienville Streets. At approximately 9:50 p.m. he was struck by at least 15 bullets and died inside his vehicle.

Police recovered surveillance footage showing several cars in the area and identified a vehicle of interest described as a dark-colored or possibly maroon sedan that sped away downriver on North Broad Street, then turned onto Orleans Avenue toward North Galvez Street. Few tips came in, no arrests have been announced, and the motive remains unknown. The loss compounded a family tragedy: Christopher’s brother had been murdered three years earlier.

Did anyone in the area that night see the sedan or any other activity around North Broad and Bienville that could help the investigation?
