Brishen Ashon Dorsey, 26, was fatally shot in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans on the evening of Saturday, September 27, 2014. Authorities were called at about 6:20 p.m., and officers found Dorsey deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. He had arrived in the city two days earlier for a visit; he had been living in Shreveport for a few months after being laid off from his construction job and had gone back to New Orleans for what was intended to be a brief trip.

Relatives gathered near the scene and the coroner later confirmed his death. A friend of Dorsey’s uncle reported hearing a series of gunshots and said Brishen’s name was being associated with the incident. As of the most recent update, no arrests have been announced, no persons have been publicly identified as persons of interest, and investigators have not resolved the motive or identified suspects; the case remains open.

Did anyone in the Lower Ninth Ward or New Orleans area see Brishen around September 26–27, 2014 or have information that could help investigators?
