On the late afternoon of August 25, 2015, gunfire erupted on the 1700 block of LaHarpe Street in New Orleans’ 7th Ward. Lenard Reese, 39, was on a porch holding a two-year-old toddler when two men approached. After a brief exchange of words, the assailants opened fire. Reese was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at a local hospital; the toddler suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.

The attack drew condemnation from then-New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison, who called the shooting senseless, cowardly, and brazen and said the department would pursue those responsible. Investigators soon identified Jeremiah Shaw as a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder; authorities searched for Shaw and an alleged accomplice in the days after the shooting.

If anyone has information about who approached that porch on LaHarpe Street or about Jeremiah Shaw’s whereabouts in late August 2015, please share what is known.
