On the morning of September 19, 2014, the body of 24-year-old Darius R. Bazile was found behind the Love In Action Outreach food pantry at 4607 Downman Road in New Orleans. A co-founder of the pantry discovered him around 8 a.m. when she came to open the back parking gate and saw Bazile lying face down; his death was later attributed to a gunshot wound.

Born August 2, 1990, in Marrero, Louisiana, Bazile graduated from G. W. Carver High School in 2009 and was the father of a son, Darien R. Bazile. A funeral service took place October 4, 2014, at Greater Bright Morning Star Baptist Church and he was buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery.

No suspects or motive have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the investigation remains open. If anyone knew Darius or has information about what happened that morning, please share what you know with investigators.
