Tyrell Williams was 23 when he was killed in New Orleans on July 24, 2014. His death occurred during a summer marked by a sharp rise in shootings across the city, particularly in neighborhoods within the 5th and 7th districts where gun violence and homicides were concentrated.

Reports place Williams’s killing among many that year involving young Black men and link much of the violence to gang activity and disputes over drugs in areas with longstanding social and economic problems. No arrests or suspect identifications have been reported in his case.

If anyone knew Tyrell, his routines, or was in those neighborhoods around late July 2014, please share what might help bring clarity to his death.
