In the early morning hours around 1 a.m. on a Tuesday in March 2015, a triple shooting in a New Orleans East home on Duane Road left 25-year-old Walesha Williams and her 8-year-old daughter Paris dead. Walesha was fatally shot inside the house and Paris was reportedly asleep in her bed when she was killed. A 39-year-old family friend was also shot and survived by pretending to be dead.

After the attacker fled, the wounded woman ran to a neighbor’s house and, before collapsing, identified Williams’ boyfriend as the assailant. Police quickly named 25-year-old Dwayne Martin as the primary suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest. Neighbors and family expressed shock and many believed the killings stemmed from domestic violence.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the victims’ lives in New Orleans East that could help clarify what happened?
