On the late afternoon of September 3, 2014, 25-year-old William Eleby was shot multiple times while walking in the 2100 block of Foucher Street in New Orleans. Despite his injuries he managed to flee but collapsed a block away in the 2000 block of Amelia Street, where he later died. He was known as Will Black to those who loved him.

William left behind his fiancée and seven children. Family members remember him as a man who always wore a smile and had a kind word for everyone.

If anyone knew William, saw activity on Foucher or Amelia streets that afternoon, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
